HPTLC method for estimation of isolated derivative in fractions of seeds of Ensete superbum
Abstract Isolated chroman derivative from the seeds of EnsetesuperbumCheesm have been reported to possess anti-implantation activity. The literature survey reveals that no HPTLC methods are reported for the present drug. Hence, an attempt was made that the active derivative can be selected as a standard for the presence of same in different fractions respectively. The isolated chroman derivative along with the fractions was subjected to multi wavelengths canning and spectrum analysis. The detection and quantification were observed at wavelengths of 256 and 550 nm. HPTLC analysis indicated that the maximum amount of isolated derivative was present in ethanol fraction (1.83%) followed by ethyl acetate (1.74%) and methanol fraction(0.70%).The petroleum ether fraction of the extract was found to containno traces of the isolated compound. Linearity studies indicated that isolated derivative was present in the linear range of 100 -500 ng. Since this method resolves and quantifi...
