Rationalisation of extractive protocol by high-performance thin-layer chromatographic–densitometric quantification of berberine in multiple hydroalcoholic extract of Tinospora cordifolia stem

Drug development from medicinal plants by using various hydroalcoholic solvents has been an emerging trend in the last few decades. Utilisation of plant stem for this purpose is a one-time use and causes destruction of natural resources. Hence, it is necessary to optimize the hydroalcoholic composition for obtaining the best extraction as a pre-work of any drug development. Tinospora cordifolia stem which is a rich source of alkaloids is...
