چکیده
Rauwolfia serpentina medicinal value well known in various system of medicine all over the world. Reserpine is an indole alkaloid and is important constituent of Rauwolfia which is reported to posses anti hypertensive and tranquilizing activity. In the present study High Performance Thin Layer Chromatography has been developed for quantification of Reserpine in Rauwolfia and its allied preparations, which was found to be rapid and accurate. The method proposed was highly precise, sensitive, specific and reproducible with an average recovery of 78%. The limit of quantification was observed to be 112 ng.
