Keywords:
Saraca asoca, medicinal value, photochemical, antibacterial, antifungle, antioxidant activitiesAbstract
Ashoka briksh is a plant from the Saraca asoca family (Caesalpiniaceae). For the release of a separate section of Sarac aasoca, this paper explains several bioactivities: antibacterial, antioxidant, etc. Medicinal plants (bark, flowers, and leaves) were harvested from diverse portions of ancient Indian plants (bark, flowers, and leaves). In India, the Ashoka tree is both a sacred and traditional plant, as well as a popular therapeutic cure. Itching, ulcers, eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis, scabies, and inflammation are commonly treated with the leaves and blooms of the Ashoka tree. Colds, vaginal issues, diabetes, and a number of other ailments are all treated with it. There are Alkaloids, Flavonoids, Glycosides, Saponins, Phenols, Steroids, Tannins, and Triterpenoids involved. This research is based on a collection of articles published between 2000 and 2021 by Pubmed, Elsevier, Springer, and other internationally known journals. According to the current study, almost all S. ascoca isolated plants have photochemical, antibacterial, antifungle, and antioxidant activities.
