Chavi Mittal, Aayushi, Mubarik Muhammad and Kunal Pathak
The present study aimed to assess the pharmacological and phytochemicaland pharmacognostic properties of the Euphorbiaceae family of plants, namely Mallotus Philippinensis. The assessments included organoleptic, microscopical, and physicochemical analyses, and included measurements of LOD, total powder ash, percentage of extraction, swelling index, foaming index, and foreign particle, were used to conduct pharmacognostical investigations. According to the results, the LOD was determined to be 1.74 Percentage. Likely, 0.8 cm was reported as the swelling index. Indexof foaming (less than 100). Through sequential soxhlet extraction, a phytochemical research wasconducted. The extractive values for petroleum ether, chloroform, ethyl acetate, ethanol, and distilled water were 4.9%, 5.45%, 9.77%, 8.75%, and 4.4%, respectively. The existence of steroid, flavonoid, alkaloid, glycoside, phenolic compounds, fixed oils, & lipids was identified by the preliminary qualitative phytochemical screening. The ethyl acetate extract of the Mallotus Philippinensis plant was used in the pharmacological experiment to examine the anthelmetic action. The dosage of 120 mg/kg was shown to have a good pharmacological effect.
