ABSTRACT
Caesalpinia pulcherrima belonging to family Caesalpiniaceae is distributed throught out India. Commonly it is known as Peacock-flower. Plant shows diterpenoids, isovouacaperol, sitosterol and flavonoids. The plant is considered as emmenagogue, purgative and stimulant, bark is powerful emmenogogue, abotificient and infusion of flower is pectoral and febrifuge, also used in bronchitis, asthma and malarial fever, leaves used as antipyretic, antimicrobial. Flower also shows antioxidant and antiviral activity.
Wood of Caesalpinia pulcherrima was collected and extracted with petroleum ether and methanol. Then the fractionation of extracts was done and active phytoconstituents were isolated from the fractions with the help of column chromatography. US-Q and US-P were isolated from petroleum ether extract and EA-F and EA-I was isolated from methanol extract. Quantitative estimation of isolated phytoconstituent was carried out using Camag HPTLC system equipment. Percentage content of these constituents was found as US-Q: 0.1749, US-P: 4.2847, EA-F: 6.0039 EA-I: 5.3093.
Key Words: Caesalpinia pulcherrima, HPTLC, Quantitative estimation.
