This paper deals with the detailed Pharmacognostical and Phytopharmacological evaluation of the crude drug Peltophorum pterocarpum (DC) Backer ex. Heyne (Ceasalpineaceae). Morphoanatomy of the Stem bark have been studied with the aim to aid Pharmacognostical and Taxonomic species identification using light and confocal microscopy, WHO recommended physico-chemical determinations and authentic phytochemical procedures. Two compounds were isolated by column chromatography in different fraction of chloroform, ethyl acetate, methanol and water from stem bark powder. These compounds are tannins which are confirmed by chemical test and TLC. Methanol and water extracts of stem bark of Peltophorum pterocarpum (DC) Backer ex. Heyne, (Ceasalpineaceae) gives analgesic and anti-inflammatory activity, evaluated by rat models.
