Abstract :

Pisonia grandis R.Br is one such medicinal plant of the Nyctaginaceae family with a high medicinal potential and is freely available in India.

The leaves, stems and roots of this species are extensively used by the tribals in the preparation of several folk medicines. The plant is traditionally used as anti-rheumatic and antifungal. This plant is also pharmacologically studied for its anti-fungal, antioxidant, anti-microbial, anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic, diuretic, analgesic and wound healing properties. The present scientific investigation deals with the GC-MS analysis of methanolic extract of the plant extract, F/P ratio and phytochemical preliminary analysis of the plant Pisonia grandis R. Br.
