Detection of amino acids present in the leaves of Cassia auriculata L.

Cassia auriculata L is small perennial shrub growing widely in dry regions of central India, Western Peninsula and western Rajasthan. The bark is astringent and is valuable tanning material. Fruits are anthelmintic, Flowers and pods are used in diabetes and urinary disorders Most of the plants of this genus cassia are well known in Indian system of medicine for their cathartic, purgative and antibiotic properties.Many compounds of structural significance and medicinal importance have been reported from different species of this genus. Leaves of cassia auriculata L are useful in chronic fever, anthelmintic. Taking into consideration amino acid content was found out. Air shade dried powered material of leaves were used for the detection of amino acids from CASSIA AURICULATA L. Paper chromatographic technique was used with different mobile phases. Specific amino acids were detected specific mobile phases. The obtained amino acids were identified by comparing with standards. Total ten amino acids in the leaves were detected. Two mobile phases found suitable for the amino acids present in the leaves.
