Abstract

ObjectiveTo evaluate the phytoconstituents composition and HPTLC fingerprint sequence profile of the medicinally important plant Rumex vesicarius L. (polygonaceae). MethodsThe preliminary qualitative phytochemical screening was done by the method as Koakate described. The HPTLC fingerprint analyses were carried out as Harborne and Wagner et al described. The Toluene-Ethylacetate (7:3) was employed as mobile phase. ResultsThe phytochemical screening showed the presence of various phytocompounds. The HPTLC fingerprinting of the extracts showed several peaks with different Rf values. The chloroform and ethanol extracts showed 9 peaks in 5 μL concentration and 10 peaks in 10 μL concentrations while the aqueous extract showed only 2 peaks in both the concentrations. ConclusionsThe HPTLC fingerprint profile is used in differentiation of the species from the adulterant and act as biochemical markers for this medicinally important plant I the pharma industry and plant systematic studies.
