Hemidesmus indicus root (Family Apocynaceae). In the present study a pharmacognostic evaluation of the root was undertaken. In addition to the evaluation of physicochemical characteristics; preliminary phytochemical parameters and pharmacological activities of Ethanolic extracts has been carried out. The aim of the present study was carried out with the objective of phytochemical screening and to evaluate the hepatoprotective activity of Ethanolic extract of Hemidesmus indicus. Liver diseases (like jaundice) are the common ailments affecting mankind, though no remedy is available in allopathic at present. In the recent past years many medicinal plants are screened for their hepatoprotective activity and quite a few of they are already successful in entering the market, Hence the present study is planned to find out the hepatoprotective activity of Hemidesmus indicus drug induced hepatotoxicity methods.
