Study on Chemotypic Variability of Coleus forskohlii Briq., Samples Collected from Different Phytogeographical Locations of India and Evaluation of Its Inhibitory Potential.

Coleus forskohlii Briq. is an important medicinal herb, endowed with a wide range of medicinal properties against the variety of ailments. Seven germplasm of C.

Chemodiversity and molecular variability in the natural populations (India) of Gloriosa superba (L.) and correlation with eco- geographical factors for the identification of elite chemotype(s).

Gloriosa superba L. has economic significance due to colchicine, a bioactive compound used for gout. In present study metabolic and molecular variability in natural population of species was analyzed and correlated with edaphic and climatic factors.

Chemotaxonomic studies on natural population of Gloriosa superba (L.) collected from Gangetic plain (India) and their invitro antigout activity for the identification of elite germplasm(s).

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Gloriosa superba L. (Colchicaceae) is used in the treatment of gout and rheumatism as a traditional medicine dates back to 1810. It has also been used as ethnobotanical and folklore medicine to induce abortion/vaginal poison.

Variability in alkaloid and phenolic content antigout potential among the natural population of (L.) collected from Central India.

The variation in alkaloid metabolites (colchicine and gloriosine) was found significant in the nine germplasms of (L.), collected from Central India. The maximum content of colchicine and gloriosine was in NBG-15 (Chitrakoot, M.

Simultaneous Quantification of Forskolin and Iso-Forskolin in (Wild.) Briq. and Identification of Elite Chemotype, Collected from Eastern Ghats (India).

Background: is a well-known industrially important medicinal plant, for its high forskolin content.

Objective: A simple, selective, and sensitive high-performance thin layer chromatography (HPTLC) method was developed and validated for simultaneous quantification of forskolin and iso-forskolin in germplasm collected from the Eastern Ghats, India.

Materials And Methods: Chromatographic separation of the targeted marker(s) was obtained on precoated silica plates using toluene: ethyl acetate: methanol (90:30:0.

High-performance Thin-layer Chromatographic-densitometric Quantification and Recovery of Bioactive Compounds for Identification of Elite Chemotypes of L. Collected from Sikkim Himalayas (India).

Background: L. (Colchicaceae) is used as adjuvant therapy in gout for its potential antimitotic activity due to high colchicine(s) alkaloids.

Objective: This study aimed to develop an easy, cheap, precise, and accurate high-performance thin-layer chromatographic (HPTLC) validated method for simultaneous quantification of bioactive alkaloids (colchicine and gloriosine) in L.

Reversed Phase High-Performance Liquid Chromatographic Ultra-violet (Photo Diode Array) Quantification of Oleanolic Acid and its Isomer Ursolic Acid for Phytochemical Comparison and Pharmacological Evaluation of Four Leucas Species Used in Ayurveda.

Content: Different Leucas species are well known as "Dronpushpi," a well-known herb of Ayurveda, used in the treatment of various ailments.

Objective: Evaluation of four industrially important Leucas species for their in vitro antidiabetic potential and radical scavenging effect along with high-performance liquid chromatographic quantification of the bioactive triterpenes.

Materials And Methods: The quantification of triterpenes was carried out on C-18 column with acetonitrile and water (90:10) as the solvent system at a detection wavelength of 210 nm.
