Abstract
Oroxylum indicum (family: Bignoniaceae) or Broken bones tree, which is distributed throughout India and
South East Asia. Oroxylum indicum is known by such regional names as Bhatghila, Tona, Bhut-vriksha,
Shyonaka, and Hanyu pinyin. Over the past two decades, many reports have appeared in mainstream scientific
journals describing its nutritional and medicinal properties. While much of this recent enthusiasm indeed
appears to be justified, it is critical to separate rigorous scientific evidence from anecdote. The present review
provides the complete information about literatures of Oroxylum indicum as botanical descriptions, vernacular
names, biological activity of plant parts, ethanomedicinal uses and current status of research with scope of
investigation of Oroxylum indicum for future research. The structures of twenty eight isolated compounds from
different parts of Oroxylum indicum with IUPAC names, molecular formula, formula weight, melting points
were also reported in this study.
