Description
Summary:Present study deals with the comparative analysis of phytochemical constituents in ethanol and hydroethanol extracts. TLC profiling of hydroethanol extract of Indigofera tinctoria was also performed. Detailed study was further explored by determining several physico-chemical parameters and microscopic study of plant powder. Results showed the presence of various phytoconstituents like saponins, steroids, polyphenols including phenolic acids, flavonoids, tannins and anthroquinones in both extracts whereas cardiac glycosides and alkaloids were only present in ethanol extract. Coumarins, hydroxyl-anthroquinone and cyanogenetic glycosides were either completely absent or present in very little amount which were not detectable. TLC profiling also validated the presence of active phytoconstituents that would be helpful in further drug formulations.
