Bauhinia purpurea Linn is an ornamental plant found throughout the
globe known as Khairwal in Hindi having high therapeutic value in Ayurvedic
preparations. Numerous types of biological activities are attributed to
bauhinia species. B. Purpurea Linn is an important species used to treat many
ailments in the traditional system of medicine. The plant is popular in India,
and bark was reported as antimycobacterial, antimalarial, antifungal, cytotoxic
and anti-inflammatory activities. The plant is useful in diarrhoea, pain,
rheumatism, inflammation, cancer, and many more medicinal purposes. Since the
plant is used in various formulations commonly, its quality and quantity are of
prime importance. The current study deals with the changes in chemical
constituents due to different factors. For the present study, the fresh leaves
of Bauhinia Purpurea linn was selected. Polyphenol content was determined
spectrophotometrically. In order to determine the seasonal variation of the
concentration of phenolic compounds, flavonoids, and antioxidant activity,
plant materials during three different seasons and geographical conditions were
analysed. The findings of the study suggested that Hydroalcoholic extracts
contain strong phytochemical activity while changing different parameters.
Change of season or region does affect drastically the synthesis of phytochemicals
of the plant.
