Abstract

Anticoagulant activity of different extract of cannon ball tree was evaluated in-vitro. Medicinal plant acts as a metabolic bio factory, which can be accessed as therapeutic potential with lesser side effects. The phyto constituents of various medicinal plants can be correlated with pharmacological study. In vitro study was carried out with a vision to setup standards that could be beneficial for detecting authenticity of this medicinal plant. Numerical standards reported in this work could be useful for the compilation of suitable monograph of Couropita guianensis. Various phyto constituents such as alkaloids, tannins, saponnins and glycosides are producing a better opportunity for testing various pharmacological activities. The results obtained from this research revealed that that the plant contains bioactive agents which are connected with anticoagulant activity in plants.

Keywords: Anticoagulant activity, flavonoids, extraction, chemotherapy
