Abstract
Modern research tool for evaluation of plant drugs are available today but physicochemical method is the one simplest and reasonable method for the assessment of quality and purity of crude plant materials. With the aim of drawing the physicochemical parameters of Cucurbitaceae family, the present study deals with leaves of all the selected Coccinia indica, Momordica dioica, Praecitrullus fistulosus, Trichosanthes dioica medicinal plants. The Obtained information will be used for further help in identifying the crude drug as potent therapeutic agents and assist in standardization for excellence and clarity.
 Keywords: Physicochemical, Ash, Cucurbitaceae, Leaves
Highlights
Cucurbitaceae family is major source of medicinal agents since ancient time
In the series of Cucurbitaceae plants, Coccinia indica, Momordica dioica, Praecitrullus fistulosus, Trichosanthes dioica are most of the excellent plants, gifted by the nature having composition of all the essential constituents that are required for normal and good human health
The leaves of Coccinia indica, Momordica dioica, Pracecitrullus fistulosus and Trichosanthes dioica were shade dried and Yogesh Shivhare et al, Journal of Biomedical and Pharmaceutical Research converted into moderately coarse powder separately
Summary
Cucurbitaceae family is major source of medicinal agents since ancient time. Trichosanthes dioica is cultivated extensively throughout the warmer parts of India, extending to Assam and E. It is commonly known as Parwal in different areas. Physicochemical evaluation of medicinal plants is a simple and reliable tool, by which complete information of the crude drug can be obtained. Sophisticated modern research tools for evaluation of the plant drugs are available today but physicochemical evaluation is one of the simplest and cheapest methods for establishing the correct identity of the source materials. Different researches are going on to explore the beneficial, pharmacological and medicinal properties of herbal drugs. In this work an attempt was made for physicochemical evaluation of different cucurbitaceae medicinal plants
