Abstract 
Aerva lanata (L.) Juss. ex Schult is a medicinally important herbal plant whose extract is known to have many significant therapeutic properties such as antihyperglycemic, urolithic, lithotriptic, anthelmintic, antihyperlipidemic, hepatoprotective also with few antioxidant and anti-microbial attributes. This present chromatographic study reports a comparative quantitative analysis of medicinally important compounds ?-sitosterol and qualitative analysis of ?-amyrin in in-vivo and in-vitro grown plants of A. lanata (L). However, the normal in-vitro plants contained 52.85% lesser ?-sitosterol than the wild ones but in-vitro plants influenced by chemical mutagens showed a significant increase of 104.76% than the wild plants in HPLC profiling. The bands indicating ?-amyrin in TLC columns also depicted similar results of decrease of bandwidth in in-vitro plants and visually significant increased bandwidth in chemically induced in-vitro plants.
