Abstract EN
Helicanthes elastica (Desr.) Danser (Loranthaceae), commonly known as Indian mango mistletoe, is a parasitic shrub found widely growing on mango trees in southern India.
Development of monographic quality standards is need of the hour for Pharmacopoeial/extra-Pharmacopoeial and folk medicinal plants.
Systematic pharmacognostical evaluation of leaves of H.
elastica has been carried out employing Pharmacopoeial procedures of testing herbal drugs.
Macro–microscopic features of H.
elastica leaf were recorded.
Ethanolic extract was tested positive for alkaloids, steroids, carbohydrates, tannins, saponins and phenols.
HPTLC fingerprint profile was developed for the identification of extracts using reference standard b-sitosterol glucoside.
Results of the present investigation would serve as a source of pharmacognostical information and a document to control the quality of H.
elastica (Desr.) Danser.
