Such damage is called demyelination and it causes nerve signals to move more slowly. Damage to other parts of the nerve can cause the nerve to stop working altogether.

Br. stem bark for identification of herbal drug. Physicochemical parameters, preliminary phytochemical screening, quantitative estimation of alkaloid and Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) were carried out in the present study. Physicochemical data revealed, there is more amount of water soluble extractive value (27.10% w/w) than alcohol soluble extractive value (7.40% w/w). Facts of phytochemical screening showed presents of alkaloid, carbohydrate, tannin, saponin, flavanoids and cardiotonic glycosides in the sample. Result of TLC identification showed 7, 8, and 6 spots under short UV, long UV and after spray reagent respectively. The present study on phytochemical investigation of A. scholaris R.
