Swertiamarin Isolation From The Herbal Plant Enicostemma Littorale Blume Using Flash Chromatography – A Straightforward Approach

Abstract

Swertiamarin (SWMN) from herbal plant Enicostemma littorale Blume was isolated using Flash Chromatography as white crystals with a yield of 9.85% w/w and ~98.5% purity. Swertiamarin was characterized using melting point, TLC fingerprinting, HPTLC, MS, FT-IR, and 1H-NMR. All values were compared using the available information. Flash chromatography was used in this investigation to isolate SWMN quickly, easily, and efficiently.
