Medicinal plants have been one of the prominent sources of remedies since the inception of human civilization. In rural area herbal medicines are considered to be best healthcare products due to it's easily availability. Globally, demand of herbal based medicines, health products, pharmaceuticals, food supplements, cosmetics, etc. has been intensified in alarming rate.Moringa oleifera belongs to family Moringaecea, native of the Indian subcontinent, where its diverse parts have been employed throughout history as food and medicine. The M. oleifera is extensively used for treating cancer, hyperlipidemic, diabetic, ulcer, analgesic, fertility, convulsant, liver disorder, wound, etc. Dietary consumption of its part is therein promoted as a strategy of personal health preservation and self-medication in various diseases. The phytoconstituents present in this plant are niazirin, niazirinin, flavonoids, anthocyanins, proanthocyanidin, kaempferol-3-O-(6''-malonyl-glucoside), 4-hydroxymellein, β-sitosterone, octacosanic acid, β-sitosterol, etc. These various phytoconstituents contribute for different pharmacological activities. The present review is therefore, an effort to give a detailed overview of the published writings on phytochemistry and pharmacological activities of M. oleifera; this information will be beneficial in developing new formulations, which are more effective and have more therapeutic values.

The objective of the present study is to evaluate phytochemical composition and HPTLC finger print profile of medicinally useful plant Martynia annua L. (Martyniaceae) root extracts. The CAMAG HPTLC system was used for the finger print profiling of root extract using the mobile phase chloroform: Methanol (9:1 v/v). The profile showed that the root extract of Martynia annua exhibited several peaks with different R f values when visualized at 254 nm and 366 nm. At 254 nm a total 7 peaks were observed and at 366 nm 9 peaks were observed. The result of HPTLC analysis of Martynia annua root extracts shows that the maximum number of chemical constituents present in alcoholic root extract of Martynia annua in comparison to hydro-alcoholic and aqueous root extract of Martynia annua in given solvent system of chloroform and methanol. Further bioactivity guided fractionation and analysis of isolated chemical entity can reveal the active constituents in the different root extract of Martynia annua.
