Savita Sangwan

In the course of present research venture, a phytosterol viz., β-sitosterol was secluded from the in vivo leaves of P. pinnata and identification of the secluded compound was accomplished through TLC, R_f value, IR spectroscopy and NMR. Furthermore, the leaf methanolic extract was also analyzed by GC/MS spectroscopy in P. pinnata. It was observed that 64 secondary compounds were isolated in P. pinnata, respectively.
