Abstract
Histo-Chromatographic Finger Printing Profiles of the Root of Plumbago zeylanica Linn and Quantification of Marker Compound, Plumbagin
Highlights
IntroductionThe plant-derived 1,4-NQs are known to be biosynthesized from several metabolic pathways, and their 1,4-naphthalenoid ring often bearing one or more methyl, hydroxyl and/or methoxy substitutions in diverse species
The ayurvedic drug Chitraka is obtained from the medicinal plant Plumbago zeylanica Linn, which belongs to the family Plumbaginaceae
The presence of cortical deposition of plumbagin pigment as yellowish tints in the surface view of the sections of root, arrangement of starch grains as bunches of grapes in cortical tissues and ray parenchyma, crystal idioblasts containing calcium oxalate embedded in the intervening walls of the cortical cells, distinct band or patch of sclreids at the pericyclic region of the phloem, wood with non-storied cambium, distinct growth ring boundaries, paratracheal axial parenchyma, chains of vessels in radial multiplies of three to four, uniseriate to biseriate medullary rays with homogeneous cells, crowding of vessels at the central portion of secondary xylem, wood plugged with tylosis and low mesomorphy ratio for wood were the anatomical features characteristics of the taxon
Summary
The plant-derived 1,4-NQs are known to be biosynthesized from several metabolic pathways, and their 1,4-naphthalenoid ring often bearing one or more methyl, hydroxyl and/or methoxy substitutions in diverse species.

The ayurvedic drug Chitraka is obtained from the medicinal plant Plumbago zeylanica Linn, which belongs to the family Plumbaginaceae. Aim: The present study concerns the microscopic, powder and quantitative microscopic characteristics of the root of Plumbago zeylanica Linn. Materials and Methods: Delimiting the morpho-histological profile of the root using digital, stereo and polarized microscopic techniques and to develop the chromatogram of the extract of the root of Plumbago zeylanica Linn using High performance thin-layer chromatographic (HPTLC) method. The calibration curve was found to be linear in the concentration range of 2.00 to 10.00 μg/ band with the polynomial calibration equation
