Phytochemical & Pharmacological Investigation: Baccaurea Ramiflora Arfia Chowdhury

This research work was conducted with the peel and seed of Baccaurea ramiflora to investigate the Phytochemical constituents and Pharmacological activities. The powdered peel of B. ramiflora was extracted with methanol and seed was extracted with n-haxane. The methanolic peel extracts indicates the presence of Carbohydrate, Tannins, Alkaloids, and Steroids. The crude extract of peel of B. ramiflora was found to show mild lethality against the brine shrimp naupli. In comparison with standard, peel of B. ramiflora was showed no thrombolytic activity, but seed was showed mild thrombolytic effect. So, seed of B. ramiflora can be further used as mild thrombolytic agent.
