Abstract:
The present investigation was carried out to determine the various bioactive components of whole plant of Andrographis alata (Vahl.) Nees using FTIR and HPLC analysis. The FTIR analysis of Andrographis alata (Vahl.) Nees showed various stretching frequencies revealed the presence of Alkyl halides, alkynes, alkenes ether, ether or aloxy, acyl or nitro compounds, alkene or aromatics, amides, ketones, aldehydes, carboxylic acid, alkanes, alcohol, aromatic ring, amides , amines, alkynes and phenol. By using HPLC analysis showed the presence of the 0.01 % of andrographolide. The detailed investigation done with these processes helps in screening active compounds from this plant which lead to further discovery of new drugs for various diseases and ailments.
