The Present Study is done for Pharmacognostical and Phytochemical evaluation of the root part of Ipomoea turpethum. The Pharmacognostical Evaluation Includes Macroscopic and Microscopic Studies of the I. turpethum root. The anatomy of the root was studied by taking transverse section. Powder microscopical examination showed presence of different characters. The Physicochemical Parameters like Foreign organic matter, Determination of moisture content, Total ash, Acid insoluble ash, Water soluble ash, Extractive values by Hot percolation, Cold maceration (Ethanol soluble extractive, Water-soluble extractive, Ether soluble extractive), Determination of swelling index, Foaming index were also carried out for I. turpethum root. Phytochemical study includes preparation of extract and Preliminary Phytochemical screening of that different extracts which shows that major constituents are present in the Hydroalcoholic extract of the I. turpethum root. TLC and HPTLC fingerprinting were also done to check and conform that major constituents are present in the Hydroalcoholic extract.
