To study phytochemical and pharmacognostic and quantitative evalution of leaves. by recent study provides pharmacognostic ,phytochemical and quantitative evalution of pogmia pinnata of leaves and flower . macroscopic study showed was elliptic with smooth margin ,short petiole ,alternate imparipinnate , hairless , acuminate at apex, rounded to apex ,rounded to cuneate at base and slightly thickened .microscopic study releaved collated ,closed vascular bundles ,trichomes , paracytic stomata ,xylem vessels and prismatic calcium oxalate crystal .qualitative analaysis showed the presence of phenol ,flavonoids tannis ,saponins alkaloids ,fixed oil and fat ,amino acid ,steroids ,anthraquinones, cardiac glycosides ,proteins, tri-terpenoids, reducing sugar . The seeds of the Pongamia Pinnata contain about 30 to 40 % of oil which is thick, reddish brown in color .The isolated phenylated flavonoids have two modified ring derivatives i.e. ponga flavanol and tunicatachalcone obtained from the stem bark .chemical consitutent of pogmia pinnata is Oleic acid occurred in highest amount (44.24%), stearic (29.64%) and palmitic (18.58%) acids were the next in quantity. Hiragonic and octadecatrienoic acids were present in trace amounts (0.88%).
Pongamia Pinnata has been documented in a number of traditional medicinal systems for the cure of various disease of human begin . Incorporation of Pongamia plant parts is very common in Ayurvedha and Siddha Indian medicine practices. Pongamia pinnata exhibits many pharmacological attributes.
