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,
