Abstract: The analysis and quality control of herbal based medicines are moving a step ahead towards an integrative and comprehensive direction in order to tackle the complex nature of herbal medicinal treatment. High-performance thin layer chromatography (HPTLC) is one of the most sophisticated instrumental techniques for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of the herbs and herbal products. This article emphasizes on standardization of Alangium salviifolium L.f. (Wang). The physicochemical analysis and HPTLC finger print method is useful for quantitative identification and characterization of the leaf which may lead to correct selection of drug ingredient in any formulations.
