Keeping this in view, one of the important medicinal plants Citrullus colocynthis L. (Bitter Cucumber) whose fruit has been explored to investigate its phytochemistry and fluorescence characters, purification and chromatographic separation of penultimate fractions and then the standardization of these fractions to form the crystals for further spectral analysis was carried out in the present study. The aim of this study is to evaluate these parameters of the Bitter Cucumber to prove its claim in folklore practice against various disorders.
