Quantitative Estimation of Plumbagin in Various Parts of Plumbago rosea and Plumbago zeylanica
Asian Journal of Chemistry,
Vol. 22 No. 1 (2010): Vol 22 Issue 1, 2010
Abstract
In this work, the various parts of Plumbago rosea and Plumbago
zeylanica have been standardized by estimating plumbagin. The dried
plant materials were subjected to successive solvent extraction (petroleum
ether (60-80 ºC), chloroform, acetone, ethanol and aqueous). The
extracts that showed positive qualitative test were further taken for the
estimation of plumbagin through HPTLC. The results indicated the
concentration of plumbagin in the following manner, P. rosea root >
P. zeylanica root > P. rosea stem > P. zeylanica stem> P. rosea leaf >
P. zeylanica leaf.
