Comparative analysis of phytochemical constituents present in various parts of Aegle marmelos

ObjectiveTo perform phytochemical screening on all parts (Root, Stem bark, Stem, Leaf and Fruit) of Aegle marmelos so as to find out the identical phytocompunds and enhance its usage in drug preparation.MethodsScreening is performed for aqueous and methanol extract of various parts of the plant by High Performance Thin Layer Chromatography.ResultsStem bark and root of aqueous extracts have similar phytochemical compounds. Marmelosin is found in all parts of the plant and its concentration is high in fruit.ConclusionsStem bark could be substituted or added along with the root in any of the drug preparation where root is of important. Since marmelosin is a coumarin and is found in all parts we can conclude that coumarins are present in all parts of the plant.
