Abstract
Rauwolfia serpentina is an important medicinal herb used in Ayurveda and Alleopathy. Reserpine is an indole alkaloid present in Rauwolfia serpentina viz. reported to possess anti-hypertensive and tranquilizer property.

Among the fungi, Macrophomina phaseolina causes severe root rot disease .In order to Changes in reserpine from healthy and infected roots of Rauwopfia serpentina, the healthy and infected roots of Sarpagandha was collected from four different places namely M. A., University, Parbhani designated HRS-1, IRS-1, Medicinal plant garden, M.P.K.V., Rahuri, designated HRS-2, IRS-2, Nagarjun medicinal plant garden P. D. K. V., Akola designated HRS-3, IRS-3 and S. G. M., Amravati University, Amravati designated HRS-4, IRS-4 during rainy season in the month of August 2009 was used for the analysis. In the present study, estimation of reserpine from healthy and infected roots of Rauwopfia serpentina was carried out by HPTLC analytical method.
