Plants as such are useful, of which the flowering species contributes one tenth part in finding new drug or the lead molecules. Crossandra infundibuliformis L Nees (Acanthaceae) is a tropical evergreen shrub reported to have some medicinal properties as wound healing, antioxidant, antimicrobial, antiulcer and antisolar activity. Phytoconstitutents of the flower extract is also screened and disp...

The phospholipids content of Cyperus esculentus tubers were identified by both HPTLC and/or HPLC techniques. The identified phospholipid classes were Phosphatidic acids, Phosphatidylinositol, Phosphatidylethanolamines, Phosphatidylcholine, L-α Phosphatidyl DL-glycerol, Cardiolipin, and L-α-Lysophosphatidylcholine. The hydrolysis of total phospholipids showed that four fatty acids were attached ...

For 70 years, planar chromatography has been closely connected with the analysis of plants. Also today in its most advanced form "high performance thin-layer chromatography" (HPTLC), the technique plays an important role in identification of medicinal plants and dietary supplements. Detection of adulteration and quantitative determination of marker substances are other widely used applications....

-Forensic science laboratories in Maharashtra state regularly receiving number of duplicate foreign liquor samples under section 420 of IPC Act. The study was under taken to confirm these samples as per specifications of the manufacturer. It was found that illegal syndicates adjusted the percentage of alcohol up to standard specific value and used substandard coloring, flavoring and essential o...

Plan: Traditionally in India and China, Psoralia corylifolia seed decoction used for treating psoriasis. However, the antipsoriatic activity of Psoralia corylifolia seeds has not been scientifically evaluated using mouse tail model. Methodology: Ethanolic extract of Psoralia corylifolia seeds were analyzed by high performance thin layer chromatography (HPTLC) .The In vivo antipsoriatic activity...

Gokshur is one of the plant used in Ayurveda.The plant has diuretic activity.Brihat gokshur and Laghu gokshur are the plants used under the mishrak varga Dashmoola. Both the varieties contains sapogenins,tannins,glycoside etc.. chemical constituents. Among these steroidal saponin is the main active principle which is responsible for the diuretic activity of the plant. The present research work ...

Background: To develop the high-performance thin layer chromatography (HPTLC) finger print profile of hydroalcoholic and ethylalcohol extracts seeds Tudri Surkh (Cheiranthus cheiri). Methods: Chromatographic technique was used for separation components from HPTLC carried out using CAMAG system equipped with Linomat V applicator, WinCATS software.Results: profiling extract confirm presence vario...

Abstract Two solvent mixtures for high-performance thin-layer chromatographic (HPTLC) separation of some compounds showing estrogenic activity in the yeast estrogen screen (YES) assay are presented. The new method, planar (pYES) combines YES and a on silica gel HPTLC plates with performance assay. For separation, analytes were applied bandwise to (10 × 20 cm) fluorescent dye (Merck, Germany). d...

The objective of the present work was to develop a simple, specific, and fast high-performance thin-layer chromatographic (HPTLC) method identify quantify cordifolioside A, 20-β-hydroxyecdysone columbin with HPTLC‒electrospray ionization‒tandem mass spectrometry (ESI‒MS/MS) for characterization in Tinospora cordifolia stem extracts. Chromatographic development performed using HPTLC aluminum pla...

In most cases the pharmacological activity of plant extracts is not assigned to single components and often not all active ingredients are known. Approaches other than those considering single compounds only to analyze plant material have proven helpful for a better characterization of extracts in their entirety. In this study extracts of willow bark are analyzed by high-performance thin-layer ...
