COLUMN CHROMATOGRAPHIC SEPARATION OF BIOACTIVE COMPOUNDS FROM TAGETES ERECTA LINN.
AbstractTraditional medicines in many developing countries rely on the plant phytochemicals as a source of drug in curing many diseases. Tagetes erecta Linn. is an ornamental plant containing valuable therapeutic phytochemicals. In the current investigation, ethanol extraction of the dried flower sample was subjected to column chromatographic separation. Around 185 fractions were separated and recorded with different Rf values. The fractions were analyzed qualitatively and it was proved that the flower sample was rich in tannins, saponins, carbohydrates, alkaloids, quinines, terpenoids, phenols and coumarins.
