an important medicinal herb throughout India. Among all parts from Plant-seeds, roots and bark are the most
important parts which are used medicinally.
Present study was carried out to determine the cardiotonic activity by using infusion of Tecoma
stanswith different dilutions & compared with cardiotonic activity of digoxinâ€the life saving cardiotonic. The activity
was tested by using isolated frog heart assembly. The present preliminary studies confirm the better cardiotonic act
ivity of Tecoma Stan, than digoxin. Further studies can confirm the reduced toxicity & this will be the advantage of
Tecoma stans, over digitalis. Thus, in future it will be interesting to isolate the active chemical constituents are
responsible for the cardiotonic activity.
