Abstract: Simple and reproducible methods for estimation of pterostilbene, an anti-diabetic agent  found in Pterocarpus marsupium  by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and high performance thin layer chromatography (HPTLC), were developed and validated. The methods showed satisfactory linearity and precision, good recovery and appropriate limits of detection (LOD) and quantification (LOQ).The content of pterostilbene was determined and the results obtained by HPLC and HPTLC methods were in good agreement. The methods developed are suitable for the quality control applications in Pterocarpus marsupium   heart wood and extracts. 

Key words:Pterostilbene, Pterocarpus, marsupium, HPLC, HPTLC
