Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Pharmacy and Biological Sciences (IOSR-JPBS) - Year 2016, Vol 11, Issue 1
Abstract
Terminalia chebula Retz. is one of the most important medicinal plants used for various ailments in traditional medicines. This plant is used by the pharma industry to prepare many medicinal formulations to cure different diseases. In this current study five biotypes of Terminalia chebula Retz. were collected from Western Ghats and studied to prove that this plant has important phytoconstituents with high pharmacological value. The biotypes taken for study were compared by analysing the morphological features and the presence of different types of secondary metabolites such as flavonoids, phenols, terpenoids and tannins. Thin Layer Chromatography analysis done to identify the presence of important compound Gallic acid in all the types taken for study. This plant can be a source of useful drugs but further studies are required to isolate the active components for proper drug development.
