HPTLC profiling of two ethno medicinally important species of Calatropis
Journal Title: International Journal of Life Science - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
Calatropis is one of the common and ethnomedicinally most important genus belonging to family Asclepideaceae. Two species of Calatropis namely Calatropis procera and Calatropis gigantia are found in India. In the present investigation root, stem and leaf extracts of both the species were compared using HPTLC. The densitometric analysis showed slight difference in the fingerprints of both the medicinal species. Rf values and peaks of densitogram also showed chemical variation. Therefore HPTLC fingerprint analysis carried out in the absence of any standard was found to be informative enough to identify and to evaluate phytochemical variations present in between these two species.
