Preliminary physico-phytochemical & phytocognostical evaluation of the leaves parts and evaluation of herbal ointment using leaves of moringa oleifera lam leaf extract

Moringa oleifera Lam (Family Moringaceae) are broadly used in traditional system of medicine throughout different part of sub-Himalayan tracts of India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afganistan. Moringa olefira also known as horse radish tree and drum stick tree. It used in the treatment of infections disease, gastric cancer and gastric ulcer. It is very important to standardize the plant part pharmacognostically for its utilization in different formulation. Herbal medicine prepare different part of plant are used. Herbal drug is design as the alternative formulation for the external use in the form of ointment. For the clinical use the herbal ointment apply externally on human body. The main aims of this research are Preliminary physico–phytochemical & phyto–cognostical evaluation of the leaves parts and preparation of herbal ointment from the Moringa oleifera Lam. Moringa oleifera Lam. plants used as antibacterial activity. Under this research work, it is design as herbal ointment with the help of methanolic extract of Moringa oleifera Lam and determines the anti bacterial capacity on it. In vitro study the antibacterial activity of the methanolic extracts of dried leaves of Moringa oleifera Lam are determine by using the Agar cup plate method versus different bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa etc. By blending the methanolic extract of Moringa oleifera Lam. (10 % w/w) into aqueous cream we formulated herbal ointment. The emulsifying agent and simple ointment bases are added in above herbal ointment for increase the antibacterial effectiveness during in vitro evaluation. The current study deals with the characterization of morphological features, determination of physical constant such as the total ash value, Acid insoluble ash water soluble ash value were 3.65%,1.61%,1.81% respectively. Loss of weight drying was 5.45%, the percent yield for petroleum ether 1.95%, chloroform 4.11%, methanol 6.8% and aqueous 4.74% and determination of formulation and evaluation of herbal ointment using Moringa oleifera Lam leave extract. Also determine the presence or absence of phytochemical such as alkaloids, steroids, saponins, proteins, flavanoids, tannins, carbohydrates.
