Br. is an important plant drug which is used to cure leprosy, leucoderma, itching, skin disease, asthma, bronchitis, leucorrhoea, dysentery, piles, syphilis, paralysis, urinary disorders and diabetics. The present study focused on the pharmacognostical, phytochemical investigation as well as HPTLC study on Hemidesmus indicus root. Organoleptic, macroscopic, microscopic, phytochemical features along with the HPTLC study were performed by taking different solvent extracts of Hemidesmus indicus root. This study highlights the first detailed HPTLC study on Hemidesmus indicus root by taking different solvent extracts with their increasing polarity which is a referential information for identification parameters and improves our confidence level of acceptability of herbal drugs.
