This study investigates the phytochemical, physicochemical, and fluorescence properties of
Acacia ferruginea, a medicinally significant plant, to explore its potential in treating chronic
inflammatory diseases. Acacia ferruginea, widely found in semi-arid environments, is
traditionally known for its therapeutic applications. The research includes a detailed evaluation
of its phytoconstituents, including alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, and saponins, using standard
analytical techniques. Physicochemical parameters, such as moisture content, ash values, and
extractive values, were determined to assess the plant's quality and purity. Additionally,
fluorescence analysis was conducted to establish its chemical fingerprint, providing insights into
its stability and authenticity. The findings highlight the plant's significant anti-inflammatory
properties, supported by its bioactive compounds, which could serve as natural therapeutic
agents. This study emphasizes the importance of integrating traditional knowledge with scientific
validation for developing sustainable and effective treatments for chronic inflammatory
conditions, especially in resource-limited, semi-arid regions.
