Abstract
In the present study, HPTLC is used to detect the presence and amount of triterpenoids and phytosterols in different plant parts (fruit, stem, leaf, and root) of Solanum xanthocarpum Schrad. and Wendl.; such analysis is done for the first time. Each plant part has its own medicinal value and is used as Siddha medicinal herb. The employed statistical analysis ensures that the developed method is reproducible and selective. The results show that the fruit samples contain highest amount of tested phytochemicals. This method can be used as an important tool to ensure the therapeutic dose in herbal formulations, standardization, and quality control of bulk drugs.
期刊介绍:
Advances in Pharmacological and Pharmaceutical Sciences is a peer-reviewed, Open Access journal that publishes original research articles, review articles, and clinical studies in all areas of experimental and clinical pharmacology, pharmaceutics, medicinal chemistry and drug delivery. Topics covered by the journal include, but are not limited to: -Biochemical pharmacology, drug mechanism of action, pharmacodynamics, pharmacogenetics, pharmacokinetics, and toxicology. -The design and preparation of new drugs, and their safety and efficacy in humans, including descriptions of drug dosage forms. -All areas of medicinal chemistry, such as drug discovery, design and synthesis. -Basic biology of drug and gene delivery through to application and development of these principles, through therapeutic delivery and targeting. Areas covered include bioavailability, controlled release, microcapsules, novel drug delivery systems, personalized drug delivery, and techniques for passing biological barriers.
