INTRODUCTION
The use of natural components for therapeutic properties is earliest as human evolution and, for a longtime, plant, mineral, and animal produces the main foundations of drugs. In current years, there has been increasing attention in alternative treatments and the healing use of natural products, particularly those derived from plant life. (Divyaet al., 2014, Boopathiet al., 2017, Sunitaet al., 2016) This attention in drugs of plant source is due to numerous explanations, namely, conventional medicine can be unsuccessful (e.g. side effects, adverse effects and ineffective therapy), offensiveor improper use of synthetic drugs result in side effects and other complications. The Indian sub-continent encompassing of the nation’s India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh is the site of one of the eldest evolutions, and it has seen the growth of many traditional healthcare methods. Their growth was maintained by the great biodiversity in plants and biota due to differences in geography and weather. The Bignoniaceae family including of about 110 types and 650 species is a family of flowering plants, normallyidentified as the Jacaranda family, Trumpet Creeper family, Bignonia family, or the Catalpa family. Plant species belonging to this family are disperseduniversal, but most of them occur in the tropical and sub-tropical countries. However, a number of moderate species also grow in North America and East Asia. Although the family is small, the Bignoniaceae plants are significant for their stated bio-active ingredients and diverse pharmacological activities. (Anburajet al., 2016, Rajuet al., 2011) Bignoniaceae family plants are also extensively used in traditional therapeutic systems of a number of kingdoms, where traditional and tribal medicinal practitioners use a number of species for an action of diverse illnesses.This review purpose is the pharmacognostical, phytochemical profiles and therapeutic potential of different parts of Tecoma stans.(Sunithaet al., 2016).

Anti-inflammatory Activity
Inflammation is formed by the tissue reaction to infection, foreign substances or irritation. The inflammation process is important in the healing of wounds. Several mechanisms are involved in the inflammatory reactions such as the release of histamine, bradykinin, and prostaglandins. The anti-inflammatory drugs are the used to prevent the inflammation.(Gharibet al., 2007, Daset al., 2010) These are the anti-inflammatory drugs are screened by the in vivo animal models and determination of the activity of the drug by the comparison with the standard and control groups.

Central Analgesic Activity
Pain is the symptom of numerous illnesses needful action with analgesics. The analgesic activity is the relives the pain symptom. These are the drugs are then screened by the in vivo animal models like HAFFNER’s tail clip method in mice, Tail flick or other radiant heat methods, Tail immersion tests, Hotplate methods in mice or rats, Electrical stimulation, Monkey shock titration and Formalin test in rats.(Mohamedet al., 2016)

Anticancer
The cancer cells are the having the properties of Uncontrolled growth, tissue invasion, and distinct metastasis. The Chemotherapy is used for the treatment of cancer, but they are greatly toxic, and the negligible quantity of injected drug only can reach the cancerous tissue, may damage the normal system particularly bone marrow, epithelial tissue, reticuloendothelial system, and gonads. Now a day the plant medicine is the used to the treatment of cancer, the Tecoma stansare having the anti-cancer activity and which is evaluated by the WETS on survival time in the animal model.

Cardio-protective effect
Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) cause death in many countries. Myocardial infarction is the imbalance oxygen supply to the myocardiumfollowed by the development of myocardial necrosis. The increased the toxic reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as O2-, H2O2, OH- etc. exerts simple oxidative pressure on myocardium prompting to CVD, for example, ischemic heart disease, atherosclerosis, congestive heart. The Tecoma stansare having the cardioprotective effect which is screened by the animal model and estimation of the antioxidant activities of the myocardium.

Genotoxic study
Genotoxicity is the property of chemical substances that damage the genetic information within a cell causing mutations, lead to cancer. All mutagens are genotoxic, but not all the genotoxic substances are mutagenic. The Tecoma stansplant is undergoing the genotoxic study and shown in table.2.

Cytotoxicity study
Cytotoxicity is toxic to cells.The cytotoxicity of Tecoma stansin human hepatoblastoma was determined by incubating the cells up to 72-hours and changing with concentrations of herbal extracts. Toxic effects of Tecoma stanswere originated to be attentiveness and time-dependent in the presence and absence of fetal bovine serum.

Wound healing activity
Wound healing is the processes of growth and regeneration of wound tissue. The aim of wound repair is to promote wound healing in the shortest time possible, with least pain, discomfort, and scarring to the patient. Some medicinal plants are used in traditional medicine for wound healing. The in vivo study of the wound healing by the various wound animal models and compare with the standard group and control.

Anti‐hyperglycemic
Diabetes mellitus is an endocrine syndrome which mostlyincreases glucose level in the blood due to the defect in theinsulin secretion or insulin action or both. In diabetes, the defect in the pancreas islet cells followed by insulin deficiency and causes diabetes. The anti-diabetic drugs are the used to the treatment of diabetes, these are the drugs are screened by the diabetic animal models such as chemical induced diabetes model, genetic induced, hormone induced and the viral-induced animal models.
