TLC plants fingerprinting of two aqueous herbal products
A
s herbal medicines are becoming commercialized, the safety, quality and efficacy
of herbal products have become a great concern to the pharmacy world and in order
to ensure this, an optimized standardization method is needed. In view of this, a review
on plant fingerprinting was carried out using the systematic review methods indicating
regions of the world where most of the studies have been carried out. Years of studies
and various analytical techniques or methods were used to identify the plants and their
common metabolites. Results indicated genetic, chemical and morphological fingerprint
as the major types highlighting genetic fingerprint as the most common type of plants
fingerprint applied technique. Other individual types of genetic fingerprints such as SSR
were indicated as the common types, so also for chemicals, HPTLC are used as the most
common types. Regions likeAsia have carried out studies on plant fingerprinting and most
of these studies were carried out in recent years within the 2014 and 2018. In an attempt
to show that analytical methods used in plant fingerprinting are not novel standardization
techniques or procedures, two herbal products like sample D1 and D2 were purchased
from the open markets and the herbal concoctions were meant to be used for erectile
dysfunctions, using TLC fingerprinting techniques, where D1 and D2 are proposed to be
the same. Further detailed investigation using LC-MS was done to characterize the major
components in the herbal concoctions and phytochemical analysis shows that saponins,
alkaloids and tannins are present in the products
