The methanolic extract exhibited higher total phenolic content (207.13 ± 2.041 mg GAE/g) and total flavonoid content (539.99 ± 25.23 mg QE/g) compared to the hydro-ethanolic extract (156.16 ± 6.55 mg GAE/g and 333.33 ± 24.035 mg QE/g, respectively). Both extracts demonstrated significant dose-dependent antioxidant activity in hydroxyl radical and hydrogen peroxide scavenging assays. Acute and sub-acute toxicity studies in rodents revealed the LD&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; was greater than 2000 mg/ kg showing no adverse toxic effects and mortality during the study period. Hematological, biochemical, and histopathological studies demonstrated the safety profile of the extracts. High-performance thin layer chromatography analysis confirmed the presence of two bioactive markers, scopoletin and taxifolin, which are known for their diverse pharmacological activities. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; The study findings provide scientific evidence supporting the traditional medicinal use of &lt;em&gt;P. wallichii&lt;/em&gt; and highlight its potential for future therapeutic and pharmacological applications.&lt;/p&gt;

The paraffin embedded specimens were sectioned with the help of Rotary Microtome. The thickness of the sections was 10-12 μm and dewaxing was done by customary procedure. The sections were stained with toluidine blue for microscopical analysis. The preliminary phytochemical study was carried out for various extracts of &lt;em&gt;S. kunthianus&lt;/em&gt; using standard procedure. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; In the pharmacognostical, physicochemical and phytochemical studies, in an attempt to standardize the leaves, stem and root of &lt;em&gt;S. kunthianus &lt;/em&gt;have been shown that will be definitely useful to the future researchers for the identification of the plant. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; These studies offer referential evidence for accurate identification and standardization of &lt;em&gt;S. kunthianus.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Solms. &lt;strong&gt;Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; Antibacterial assay was done by agar well diffusion method. Pharmacognostic studies like morpho-anatomical and physicochemical analyses were carried out for organoleptic, microscopic and macroscopic evaluations of living aerial parts, and powder microscopy, fluorescence, proximate and elemental analysis of the dried powder sample. Elements and heavy metals contents were determined by carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, sulphur / oxygen (CHNS/O) analyzer and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), respectively. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;M. hastata &lt;/em&gt;(L.) Solms aerial parts showed antibacterial activity against gastrointestinal and topical pathogens. It exhibited an amphistomatic and hydromorphic anatomical characters. The distinguishing features were the presence of stomata in upper and lower epidermis, broad air chambers, cuticle, collateral vascular bundles, sclereidal fibres, pitted tracheids, pitted vessels, calcium oxalate crystals and annular vessels in leaf. The powder sample contained very less amount of acid insoluble ash than water soluble ash and complete absence of foreign organic matter. Carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen and sulfur (CHNS) ratio was 33:6:5:1 and lead content was lesser than the recommended upper limit though the arsenic content was higher than the permissible upper limit. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusions:&lt;/strong&gt; Though the plant has traditionally been used as a potent Ethnomedicinal herb to cure boils, gastritis, hepatopathy and as laxative, but no such evaluation of pharmacognostic identity and quality parameters have been done so far. This is the first report on its pharmacognostic characters and quality control issues like heavy metal accumulation and physicochemical parameters for future use as powder drug.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original Article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">533</style></section><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Debabrata Misra&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;, Manab Mandal&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;, Narendra Nath Ghosh&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;, Vivekananda Mandal&lt;sup&gt;1*&lt;/sup&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
