Reserpine and serpentine were confirmed and identified by chemical test and Thin Layer Chromatography. Crude alkaloid content was found to be 0.416 mg/gm and 0.217 mg/g on dry weight basis in root and leaves of rauwolfia plant. Among these alkaloids reserpine was found abundantly. Amount of alkaloids were higher in root fraction as compared to leaf. 收起
