Nowadays nearly 88% of the global populations turn to plant derived medicines as their first line of defence for maintaining health and compacting diseases. One hundred and nineteen secondary plant metabolites derived from plants are used globally as drugs, 15% of all angiosperms have been investigated chemically and of that 74% of pharmacologically active plant derived components were discovered. In the Current study, isolation of active components through Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) and High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).

Keywords: Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) and High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).
