ABSTRACT

One of the family i.e. Celastraceae, consists of around 90-100 genera and 1300-1350 species of vines, shrubs, herbs and small trees. It is commonly reported and found mainly in tropical regions. According to this family, scientists reported various species which showed various medicinal uses or properties and these are already described or mentioned in folk/traditional type of medicine. Most of the bioactive derived compounds from this family have been reported or described in the literature as well. In this study, we focused on traditional medicinal plant i.e. Gymnosporia montana of Celastraceae family and studied its phytochemical analysis in leaf extract using different solvent system i.e. aqueous, methanol and ethyl acetate and also analysing it’s in vitro anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial activity. The results showed there is slight variation in phytochemical analysis of leaf extract and showed in vitro anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial activities at higher doses. Overall, this revealed the companionship of phytoconstituents for instance flavonoids, alkaloids and so on.
