Rungia repens Nees. (Acanthaceae), commonly called as Ghatipitpapra. Several ethno medicinal aspects are present in folk literature and new scientific documentation. It’s reported that, Rungia repens Nees., the plants is used as in curing cough and fever activities, antimicrobial activity, anti-inflammatory activities etc..Alkaloids are found in medicinal plants used as anesthetic agents. Ethnobotanical and phytochemical studies were done for probing its chemically active ingredient with various standard protocols of referenced scientific methods. The plant material collected from Toranmal forest of Nandurbar District. After complete processing on crude plant material and performed their proximate analysis, phytochemical test for detection of various metabolites and their presence, UV–VisSpectral analysis and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrophotometer (FTIR) were taken with different solvent system. As a result it is found that difference in value of leaves, stem and root parts extracts for proximate analysis for both fresh and dry material has been recorded. It is also found that in different solvent system reveals the presence of various phytoconstituents. The study followed with the help of UV visible spectral studies for the leaf extract from Methanol and Chloroform and FTIR spectral peak values and functional groups for the leaf extract from Chloroform and Petroleum ether obtained has been recorded. The complete experimental results signifies that ethnomedicinal information from folk and ancient literature reveals the therapeutic efficiency of Rungia which need to further elaboration in future works to investigate active ingredient for disease specific.
