Terminalia Tomentosa Lab Report
A simple, precise, accurate and rapid High-Performance Thin Layer Chromatographic method has been developed and validated for the simultaneous estimation of of ellagic acid, chlorogenic acid, gallic acid and quercetin in the leaf extract of Terminalia tomentosa and its Formulation. The stationary phase used was precoated silica gel 60F254.The mobile phase used was a mixture of Butyl acetate: Formic Acid: Distilled Water 14:5:5 (v/v). The detection of spots were carried out at 254 nm. This HPTLC method was validated statistically and recovery study was performed to confirm the accuracy of the method. It can be used for routine quality control of herbal raw materials as well as formulations containing any or all of these compounds.

The plant is known to possess many pharmacological properties like antifungal ,antioxidantanti-hyperglycaemic , antidiarrhoeal, anti leucorrheal. From the literature survey, it is learnt that no substantial work has been carried out on the leaves of T.tomentosa in terms of physicochemical and preliminary phytochemical screening of T.tomentosa. However pertaining to our knowledge there is no any hyphenated HPTLC technique available anywhere else for simultaneous quantitation of ellagic acid, gallic acid, cholorogenic acid, quercetin and its formulation in methanolic extract. So the attempt has made to accept this challenge towards development and validation of ellagic acid, gallic acid, cholorogenic acid and quercetin simultaneously by such a hyphenated technology like HPTLC for the betterment of herbal quality …show more content…
tomentosa was weighed in a round bottom flask. 100 ml of Methanol was added to the flask and the mixture was extracted by Soxhlate extraction after 12 hrs. The extract was then filtered through Whatman filter paper no. 41 (E. Merck, Mumbai, India and filtered through syringe filters of mesh size 0.45μ. The volume was made upto 100ml and used.

2.3.4 Formulation Sample
For analysis of the formulation sample 1 gm was accurately weighed into a round bottom flask. 30 mL of methanol was added to the flask and the mixture was refluxed on a boiling water bath for about 30 min. The extract was then filtered through Whatman filter paper no. 41 (E. Merck, Mumbai, India). The same procedure was performed twice and filtrate obtained was combined together and made up to 100 mL with methanol.

    15.0 mL of 1M aqueous sodium hydroxide was added to the clove oil in the separatory funnel. The bottom layer of the separatory funnel was removed and the top layer added to a 250 mL beaker. The aqueous bottom layer was then added back to the separatory funnel. 15.0 mL of 1M aqueous sodium hydroxide was added to the separatory funnel. The bottom layer was again removed and the top layer added to the previous 250 mL beaker. 10 mL of hydrochloric acid was added to the clove oil mixture which turned cloudy. A sample of the mixture was placed on the blue litmus paper which turned pink. The acidic solution was then added to the separatory funnel and 15.0 mL of DCM was added. The bottom layer of the separatory funnel was added to a 250 mL beaker. 15.0 mL of DCM was added again to the separatory funnel. The bottom layer was again added to the 250 mL beaker. A 100 mL round bottom flask and cork base were weighed at 104.356 g. Magnesium sulfate was added to the beaker until the powder stopped clumping together. The supernatant was decanted off into the pre-weighed 100 mL round bottom flask. The DCM was removed from the solution using a rotovap machine. The clove oil, round bottom flask, and cork base were weighed at 105.426 g. The clove oil was added to the IR spectroscopy machine and run. The results were obtained (Figure 1) and analyzed to find the major constituent. The weight of clove oil obtained…

    We first combine 15 mL of water with 1 g of crushed, ground cloves in a 25-mL round-bottom flask. Then added a spin bar to the 25-mL round-bottom flask and assembled the microscale distillation apparatus. We made certain that the ground cloves were well wetted. We maintained the temperature of the sand bath at approximately 130 °C and wrapped the bottom of the still with aluminum foil. Then periodically transfer the distillate from the Hickman head to a 15 mL screw cap centrifuge tube and continue the steam distillation until 5–8 mL of distillate have been collected. Then we started the extraction process by adding 2 mL of CH2Cl3 to the water–eugenol emulsion. Cap the tube and shake it frequently. We then allowed the layers to separate and transferred the CH2Cl2–eugenol solution to a clean, dry 5- mL conical vial. We made sure no water was transferred in this step. Then we added 1 mL of CH2Cl2 to the water–eugenol emulsion, cap and shake the tube. Allowed the layers to separate and transfer the CH2Cl2–eugenol solution to the 5-mL vial used previously and made certain that no water is transferred during this step. We then added 1 mL of CH2Cl2 to the water–eugenol emulsion and shook the tube. We allowed the layers to separate and transferred the CH2Cl2–eugenol solution to the 5-mL vial used in previous step. We made…

    The column chromatography was performed using different concentrations of elution solution and the column is eluted in increasing order of polarity of solvent from 100 % of extract, 25 % of ethyl acetate in hexane, 50 % of ethyl acetate in hexane, 75 % of ethyl acetate in hexane and 100 % of ethyl acetate. Then the polarity was increased using 2 % Methanol in Ethyl acetate to 50 % Methanol in ethyl acetate. 8 % of methanol and 92 % of ethyl acetate concentration was found to be the best concentration and after concentrating all fractions of these concentrations, approximately 7 to 8 mg of quercetin was obtained.…

    To isolate the eugenol, 20 mL of dichloromethane solution of clove oil was extracted twice; each time with a 15 mL portion of 3M NaOH. The aqueous extracts were then combined and acidified with approximately 17.6 mL of 6M aqueous HCl. Eugenol was isolated from the aqueous mixture by two extractions of 10 mL portions of dichloromethane. The dichloromethane extracts were then combined and dried by adding 1.9066 grams of anhydrous calcium chloride to the…

    Herbs and herbal preparations are in use for the treatment of various diseases throughout human history. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) statistics, 70–80% of the world’s population appeals to plant-derived traditional treatment methods for the solution of health problems (I. Ahmad et al., 2006).However, it is well known that consumption of plants and plant products, of which the content and the toxicity profile and safe dose were not determined, by humans and animals may cause severe toxicity problems (A. Shirwaikar et al., 2009).…

    The use of plants has played an important role in medicine. The traditional herbal medicine, typically the Chinese herbal medicine, primarily relies on the use of a mixture of herbs to treat diseases.1 A single herb may have multiple active ingredients within itself, thus, we may expect to see considerable complexities in a multi-herb extract. The modern drug development model focuses on a single compound and its mode of action on a particular disease, therefore, in order to examine safety and effectiveness of herbal therapeutic agents, we may have to modify current research and development methodologies or even invent new ones to achieve this goal. First, we must identify and isolate all the active chemical compounds present in the plant(s) and characterize them. This may be a challenging task because we are not identifying lead compounds from a library of active compounds; in fact, we are building a library of compounds present in the plant(s). The process of identifying and isolating the compounds from the plants could be very complicated. Some active compounds present in very low amount are very difficult to extract.…
