B.PHARMACY IVTH YEARUNDER THE GUIDENCE OF
Mr P.KISHORE KUMAR , M.PHARM(DEPARTMENT OF PHARMACOLOGY)
INTRODUCTION:
Herbal medicine is the use of whole plant preparation and is the oldest known form
of medicine.
It has been used for over 2,000 years and is still the major form of medicine for over
75% of the world’s population.
Our ancestors used trial and error to discover the most effective local plants for the
treatment of illness.
Advances in science Bauhinia variegata have enabled a better understanding of the
physiological effects of herbs on the human body and therefore their role in restoring
health.
Herbal medicines support the body’s natural healing process and aim to treat the
person as well as the disease. is native to south eastern Asia, from southern china
west to Pakistan and India.
The major chemical constituents of the plant were found to be flavones, flavanol
glycoside, triterpene, phenanthraquinone. Bauhinia variegata shows anti
inflammatory, chemo protective and hepatoprotectivity.
The traditional approach on herbal drug research consists of the following steps. Identification of the plant reportedly in use. collection of the plant. Transport of the plant to the research laboratory. Storage of the plant. Preparation of the extracts. Toxicity studies of the plant. Evaluation of therapeutic efficacy of the extracts in animal models. Identification of the extracts which is having more activities. Further fractionation of the active molecule. Structural elucidation of the bio-active molecule. Synthesis of bio-active molecule.
PLANT DISCRIPTION:• Plant material:
The leaves of bauhinia variegata plant were collected and leaves
were dried under shade for 15 days, coarsely powdered and stored
in air tight container for the further study.
PLANT PROFILE:•Botanical description:
Botanically Raktakanchanara is identified as bauhinia variegata
and is a member of caesalpinaceae family. Bauhinia which is a
large genus belongs to caesalpiniaceous subfamily under which
250 species have been described. In India the family is represented
by 16 genera.In bauhinia about 15 species occur in India .
.

occurs in tropical regions and found throughout India. It is found wild
in sub Himalayan tract and outer Himalaya’s up to 1300 meters.
Habit:A medium sized deciduous tree ascending to an altitude of 1300
meters in Himalayas found in deciduous forests. Also grown as
ornamental tree for its beautiful appearance in flowers.

usually deeply cordate,11-15 nerved. Leaflets 11-13cm,adnate to about
2/3rds up, ovate-oblong or rounded, nerves 11 from base, transverse
nervules, prominent, connate for about 2/3rds up, leaflets ovate, rounded
apex, upper side glabous.
Flowers: Flowers are white or pink,large and fragnant. The uppermost
petal darker and variegated usually appears before the leaves in short
axillary or terminal racemes. Pedicles short or sessile. Calyx pulses cent out
side. Petals 5-6.3cm long obviate with white or pale purple petals. Stamens
are less, staminodes absent.
Fruit:15-20/1.2 cm flat, hard dehiscent, dark brown pod glabous.10-15
seeded.

Leaf Constants Of Bauhinia Variegata:
EXTRACTION WITH METHANOL
Dried and powdered
Powder was extracted with 30ml of Methanol of 100%
chloroformfor 2hrs at 65-75O C for three times
Filter the extract by using Buchner funnel
Filtrate was concentrated by using rota vapour
3gms of powder
200gm of bauhinia variegata leaves
DETERMINATION OF ANTI-INFLAMMATORY ACTIVITY:
The inhibitory activity of the studied compounds on Carrageenan-induced
rat’spaw edema was determined according to the method of Winter et al. The
rats were divided in groups of 5 each. Acute inflammation was induced by
intraplantar administration of 0.1 ml 1% freshly prepared Carrageenan or
Dextran solution in to the right hind paw of each rat. The rats were treated with
normal saline, crude extract or aqueous fraction (200 mg/kg or 250 mg/kg P.O)
1 hour before administration of inflammatory agent. Paw volume of rats were
measured prior to administration of inflammatory agent and then at
predetermined intervals. For Carrageenan the interval was 1 hour for 6 hours,
while Dextran was 30 minute for 4 hours, change in paw volume was measured
using Vernier calliper and anti-inflammatory activity calculated.

Conclusion:
It can be concluded that Methanol extract of Bauhinia variegata has anti-inflammatory activity against carrageenan and dextran induced paw edema in rats. These activities may be due to their content of tannins, steroids, flavonoids and carbohydrates. This study demonstrates the efficacy of Bauhinia variegata as an anti- inflammatory agent and also scientifically justifies the use of this plant as an anti – edematous agent. However further study is required to determine the constituents responsible for the anti- inflammatory activity.
