Spectrophotometric and tandem mass spectroscopic analysis of Indian borage (Plectranthus amboinicus (Lour.) Spreng.) for its polyphenolics characterization

Publication date: Available online 26 April 2018Source: Beni-Suef University Journal of Basic and Applied SciencesAuthor(s): C.T. Sulaiman, M. Deepak, Indira BalachandranAbstractPlectranthus amboinicus (Lour.) Spreng. has been used for the treatment of many diseases in traditional Indian systems of medicine. In the present study, Polyphenolic profiling was carried out in leaves of P. amboinicus using spectrophotometric and mass spectroscopic analyses. The total Polyphenolics of different extracts such as ethanol, acetone and n-butanol were estimated spectrophotometrically and major phenolic compounds of ethanol extract was characterized by HPLC coupled tandem mass spectroscopic analysis.
