Keywords:
Albizia lebbeck (L.) Benth, Standard Catechin, Thin-layer Chromatography, FT-IRAbstract
Albizia lebbeck (L.) Benth. is reported to have many important medicinal properties. There are number of marketed herbal formulations containing bark extract of A. lebbeck (L.) Benth. which are used for treatment of ailments related to respiratory track. Catechin is a phytomarker present in bark of Albizia lebbeck (L.) Benth. The present work discusses a thin-layer chromatography technique for isolation of catechin from extract of Albizia lebbeck (L.) Benth. bark. Structure of isolated catechin was confirmed by spectral studies such as IR and GC-MS. Isolated catechin can be used as marker compound for marker-based standardization of extracts and formulations containing bark of Albizia lebbeck (L.) Benth.
