Adarsh Vijendra Institute of pharmaceutical Sciences, Gangoh, Saharanpur, U.P., India Ficus retusa. Linn (Family- Moraceae) is found commonly in India. Ficus species are rich source of polyphenolic compounds, flavonoids which are responsible for strong antioxidant properties that help in prevention & therapy of various oxidative stress related diseases. In present investigation, the detailed comparative pharmacognostic study of Ficus retusa (leaf, root and bark) was carried out to lay down the standards which could be useful in future experimental studies. However, no conclusive pharmacognostic study of its leaves, bark and roots has been performed yet. The study includes macroscopy, microscopy, preliminary phytochemical screening, physicochemical evaluation, fluorescence analysis and chromatographic evaluation. Highest extractive values were found with water and ethanol. The fluorescence analysis under visible light and under light by treatment with different chemical reagents showed different colour changes. The presences of alkaloids, steroids, flavonoids, saponins were confirmed during preliminary phytochemical screening. Conclusion: Such a study would serve as a useful gauge in standardization of the plant material, isolation of medicinally important phytoconstituents, performing pharmacological investigations and ensuring quality formulations Keyword: : Ficus retusa, Pharmacognostic, Phytochemical, Fluorescence Analysis. 1. Introduction The Ficus retusa, also known as Chinese banyan, plaksha, pakur and kamarup plant belongs to Moraceae family mainly distributed throughout Western Peninsula and also found in chhota Nagpur, Bihar, Central india, Andamans, Sundribuns, Malaya islands and Australia. It is a huge tropical, decidous, ever tree with more than 800 species. It has an ever rosette with oval, dark, shiny leaves, & a chunky trunk with exposed aerial roots (Ajasa A M, 2004 and Arya V, 1997). Leaves are ellipitic, ovate or obovate, 8 to 14 cm long with tapering points, narrowing into a petiole 6 to 12 mm long. The barks are grey to dark, fruity in young in odor, taste in bitter, cylindrical shape, and rough irregularly cracked bark in surface characteristics (Kollipillai B et al, 2010 and Jaya R et al, 2011). It mainly contains sterols, terpenoids, glycoside, flavonoids, polyphenols, proteins and carbohydrates. Leaves and bark used as poultice for rheumatism. Juice of leaves used for abdominal colic and flatulence. Bark juice used for liver diseases. In china, rootlets are used for toothaches (Ravichandra V D et al, 2011 and shrisha N et al, 2011) 2. Materials and Method 2.1 Plant Material The plant material (leaves, roots and barks) were collected from (Gangoh) distt. Saharanpur U.P. India. The plant was identified and authenticated Vol. 1 No Page 38

Leaves, Roots and Barks were then washed to remove adhering material, shade dried and powdered (#60) using a blender. The powders were stored in an airtight container. An exhaustive pharmacognosy was carried out using standard methodology. 2.2 Pharmacognostical Studies Macroscopy Morphological studies of leaf, root and bark such as color, size, odor, taste, surface characteristic and fracture were examined using the terms and outlined given in (Evans, 1989) Microscopy Free hand transverse sections of fresh leaf, root and bark were taken, cleaned in chloral hydrate solution with gentle warming. A drop of concentrated hydrochloric acid and phloroglucinol were used to detect the lignified cells in the cross sections and in the powder drugs. They were mounted on slide in glycerin and studied under microscope according to the standard method given in the textbook of pharmacognosy by T E.Wallis Photomicrographic images were taken by using Trino CXR camera Chemo-Microscopical Examinations The transverse sections were treated with various chemical reagents to detect the presence or absence of chemical constituents such as starch grains, lignin, mucilage and calcium oxalate crystal. The fluorescence behaviors of the powdered drugs in different chemical solutions towards the ordinary and ultra violate light was also carried out as per method described by Lal, V.K Quantitative Evaluation of the Powdered Leaves, Bark and Roots The moisture content of the powdered material was determined by the loss on drying method. The ash value and the acid insoluble ash value were determined using methods described in the British Pharmacopoeia (British Pharmacopoeia, 1980). The extractive (water and alcohol) values were determined using methods described in Brain and Turner, Average of three determinations for each procedure was calculated. The preliminary phytochemical screenings of Ficus retusa leaves bark and roots extracts were carried out according to Harbone J.B, Fluorescence Characteristics Of Powdered Drug Under Ultra-Violet Powdered drug were screened for fluorescence characteristic with and without chemical treatment. The observations pertaining to their color in day light and under ultra-violet light (short and long) were noticed (Kokashi V J et al, 1958). 2.3 Chromatographic Evaluation The chromatographic studies were performed using various solvent systems to confirm the phytochemical studies. Prepared silica gel TLC plates were used for the chromatographic evaluation. Finally Rf values were calculated and shown in table 6, 7 and 8. (Mukherjee P K, 2008, Stahl E, 1985, Wagner and Bladt 1996 and Wallis TE 1984). 3. Result 3.1 Macroscopic And Sensory Characters Leaves: The leaves are pale, fruity in young in odor, taste in bitter, oblong shape, 8.0 to 14.2 cm in length, 4 to 5 cm in width in size, glabrous in surface characteristics. Root: The root is light, fruity odor, taste in bitter, cylindrical shape, and rough irregularly cracked in surface characteristics. Bark: The barks are grey to dark, fruity in odor, taste in bitter, cylindrical shape, and rough irregularly cracked bark in surface characteristics as shown in table1. Vol. 1 No Page 39

The other physicochemical parameters which ascertain the quality, purity and also help in evaluating the crude drug, and the total ash value, acid insoluble ash value and water soluble ash value which were determined to be not more than %w/w, 3.0 %w/w, 6.5 %w/w (leaves), 4.75 %w/w, 2.0 %w/w, 4.0 %w/w (root), and 6.25 %w/w, 2.5 %w/w, 4.5% w/w (bark) respectively which indicated the presence of the total foreign inorganic matter. While study of extractive values can serve as a valuable source of information and provide suitable standards to determine the quality of plant material in future investigations or application.

The size was 8.0 to 14.2 cm in length and 4 to 5 cm in width. The shape of leaves is oblong with glabrous, shiny surface characteristics.the bark of Ficus retusa was dark in color, with fruity odour and bitter taste. The shape was cylindrical with rough irregularly cracked surface. The root of Ficus retusa was light in color with fruity odour and bitter taste. The leaves, roots & bark of Ficus retusa were subjected to microscopical studies using transverse section and powder microscopy. The transverse section of bark of Ficus retusa showed cork cells, cork cambium, medullary rays, starch grain and oil globules. Medullary rays were straight. The transverse section of root of Ficus retusa showed cork cells, vascular bundles, medullary rays, calcium oxalate crystals and oil globules. The transverse section of leaves of Ficus retusa showed fibres, starch grain, oil globules. The powder of root of Ficus retusa showed starch grain, Trichomes, fibers and oil globules. The powder of leaves of Ficus retusa showed Fibro-vascular, starch grain and oil globules. Physiochemical parameters and extractive value of leaves, bark & root of Ficus retusa were studied and results were shown in Table 2 and 3 respectively. Preliminary phytochemical studies on the plants revealed the presence of alkaloids, glycoside, tannins, saponin, steroids, tri-terpenoid and flavonoids. The preliminary phytochemical test results were rationalized by the Thin Layer chromatographic studies. 5. Conclusion The comparatives pharmacognostic standards for the leaves, bark & root of Ficus retusa are laid down for the first time in this study. Morphological and anatomical studies of plant parts will enable to identify the crude drug. The information obtained from preliminary phytochemical screening will be useful in finding out the genuity of the drug. Ash values, extractive values can be used as reliable aid for detecting adulteration. These simple but reliable standards will be useful to a person in using the drug as a home remedy. Also the manufacturers can utilize them for identification and selection of the raw material for drug production. So further study should be carried out in future to isolate the specific chemical constituents as well as detailed pharmacological activity will be carried out in proper scientific way.
