Abstract

The world of plants has become a crucial asset in addressing illnesses and providing the global pharmaceutical supply. Diverse bioactive constituents including corticosteroids, isoprenoids, bioflavonoids, fundamental alkaloid classes, fats, and saponins have significantly contributed to advancing drug research and creation." Peltophorum pterocarpum, (DC.)Baker ex. K.Heyne known as Copperpod, Golden Flamboyant, Yellow Flamboyant, Yellow Flame Tree, Yellow Poinciana, and referred to as Radhachura in Bangla, belongs to the Fabaceae family. It originates from tropical southeastern Asia and is widely cultivated as an ornamental tree across the globe. This study presents the proximate and pharmacological analysis of Peltophorum pterocarpum through the extraction of leaf and pod powder using methanol and ethyl acetate." The methanolic leaf extract of Peltophorum pterocarpum (DC.)Baker ex. K.Heyne exhibits higher levels of total ash value, acid insoluble ash value, and water-soluble ash value, compared to its pod extract. On the other hand, when considering the ethyl acetate extract, the pod extract of Peltophorum pterocarpum shows greater amounts of total ash value, acid insoluble ash value, and water-soluble ash value. Comparatively, the ethyl acetate extract derived from Peltophorum pterocarpum (DC.)Baker ex. K.Heyne leaves displays elevated levels of extractive values, encompassing both alcohol-soluble and water-soluble constituents, when juxtaposed with its pod extract. Correspondingly, the methanolic extracts obtained from the leaves of Peltophorum pterocarpum (DC.)Baker ex. K.Heyne exhibit a greater abundance of extractive values when contrasted with the methanolic extract derived from its pods.
