Abstract

Aegle marmelos (Linn) family rutaceae is highly reputed ayurvedic medicinal tree commonly known as the bale fruit tree. All the parts of the tree root, leaf, trunk, fruit, are used in traditional system of medicine.

Extensive investigations have been carried out on different parts of Aegle marmelos and as a consequence, varied classes of compound viz., alkaloids, coumarins, terpenoids, fatty acids and amino acids have been isolated from its different parts. Work on methanolic extract of stem bark is rare. Phytochemical constituents of a methanolic extract of stem bark of Aegle marmelos were investigated. The phytochemical screening of the crude extract of methanol are use to find a active compound .Performing TLC and column chromatography using toluene (1), dichloromethane (2) and methanol(22 drops) ratio. Finally, gefting a compound having better solubility profile and physical properties.
