Geographical variation in Chemo profile, Genetic profile and In-vitro Anticancer activity of Chitraka (Plumbago zeylanica Linn.) collected from Himalayas and Western Ghats
Abstract
Therapeutic actions of medicinal plants are due to the chemical components present in them. These chemical constituents often vary with change in geographical and climatic conditions. Climate, altitude, and temperature play an important role to make a herb therapeutically potent. Ancient Ayurvedic physicians mentioned that medicinal plants which grow in Himalayan region are more potent as compared to the plants growing in other regions. A modest study was therefore undertaken to compare the in vitro anticancer activity of Plumbago zeylanica Linn. collected from Himalayan region and Western Ghats with respect to their chemo profile and genetic patterns. Variation in physio-chemical, phyto-chemical, the genetic profiles were observed in plants collected from these two regions and corresponding variation was also seen in their anticancer activities.
