The objective of the present work is to study the pharmacognostic and phytochemical characteristics of some antidiabetic medicinal plants. Pharmacognostic and phytochemical investigation of Momordica charantia, Azadirachta indica and Eugenia jambolana describing its morphological, microscopical characterization, powder analysis, physicochemical evaluation, fluorescence analysis, preliminary phytochemical screening and TLC profiling has been studied in detail so as to develop a reference for academic and commercial purpose. Further, it can be used for the standardization and pharmacopoeial parameters development. The present findings are associated with standardization of parameters like macroscopic and microscopic characters, phytochemical screening, fluorescent analysis and physicochemical quantification of the plants. Ash values added more strength to crude drug standardization with prominent results indicating the involvement or non-involvement of irrelevant matter. Such study on the macro and microscopic anatomy, preliminary phytoconstituent screening and physicochemical parameters are important informations which may be useful in verification and contamination for quality control of this therapeutic plant afterwards. Thus, it is evident that the present study of the plant material provides various resourceful information in relation to pharmacognostical identification of this plant material. It would also help scientists to utilize such needful information regarding the plants identity and characteristics in building new polyherbal formulations.
