Plumbagin was isolated by thin layer chromatography (TLC) and column chromatography
(CC) techniques, as an orange tinged yellow long crystalline substances. Plumbagin
exhibits two absrop-tion maxima at 410 and 510 nm. Stability of the color, pKa value, and the
effect of pH were studied. Beer's law is obeyed over the range 0.9-45 ppm. The method is
applied to the determination of plumbagin in roots, stems, and leaves of Plumbago …
