Abstract

HPTLC analysis of Neolamarckia cadamba (Roxb.) Bosser commonly known as kadamb reveals presence of several bioactive compounds along with percentage of quercetin and gallic acid in the methanolic extract of test samples. Quantification of markers (quercetin and gallic acid) along with phytochemical profiling of Neolamarckia cadamba was done at 254nm and 366nm wavelength through HPTLC CAMAG scanner III. Quantification was done by using peak area and peak height. Chromatograms and tracks obtained reveals that the test samples, sample 1 and sample 2 have quercetin 1.29% and 0.77% respectively. Phytochemical profiling of sample 1 and sample 2 reveals presence of 16 and 10 unknown bioactive compounds respectively denoted by the number of peaks present in chromatograms. As this study acknowledging phytochemical profiling, quantification of quercetin and gallic acid will be accountable for further research towards pharmacognostic and therapeutic value of Neolamarckia cadamba.
