Phytochemical analysis of bark of Acacia nilotica

Bark is the outermost layer of stems and roots of woody plants. A plant with bark includes trees, woody vines and shrubs. Acacia nilotica is widely spread in subtropical and tropical Africa from Egypt to Mauritania southwards to South Africa, and in Asia eastwards to Pakistan and India. It has been introduced in China, the Northern Territory and Queensland in Australia (where it is considered to be a pest plant of national importance), in the Caribbean, Indian Ocean islands, Mauritius, United States, Central America, South America and the Galapagos Islands). It has naturalized in several countries where it has been introduced as a medicinal, forage and fuel wood plant. Present study deals with the preliminary phytochemical analysis of the Water, n- Hexane and Ethyl Acetate extract of bark of Acacia nilotica. In which we isolates 27 secondary metabolites which are useful for development and growth of plant.
