The genus <em>Viscum </em>(Viscaceae) comprise of several species of hemi-parasitic plants with medicinal properties. Commonly known as mistletoes<em>, </em>these plants grow on other trees with the partial parasitic association. <em>Viscum angulatum </em>B.Heyne ex DC. is one such less explored leafless mistletoe of Asian countries with medicinal claims. In Ayurveda (<em>Bandaka</em>) and Siddha (<em>Pulluri/Pulluruvi</em>), many botanicals from mistletoe families have been attributed with medicinal properties. The objective of the current study is to develop a monograph on quality standards of <em>V. angulatum</em> occurring in high altitude hills of Western Ghats. Aerial parts of <em>V. angulatum </em>were collected and authenticated and preserved in FAA for microscopic studies and some quantity of the plant material was shade-dried and coarsely powdered. Successive extracts were subjected to chromatography and isolation - characterization of the major compounds. Leaf-less quadrangular stem was found to be a diagnostic macroscopic feature of this species. The preliminary phytochemical investigation of extracts showed presence of alkaloids, carbohydrates, coumarins, flavonoids, phytosterols, triterpenoids, saponins and tannins. HPTLC fingerprint of <em>n</em>-hexane and ethyl acetate extracts has been obtained for identification of extracts. The ethyl acetate extract yielded 10-hydroxyoleoside dimethyl ester which can be used as a marker compound for routine quality check of <em>V. angulatum</em> growing on <em>Mussaenda hirsutissima</em>. The set of data obtained in the present investigation can serve as a standard for the identification as well as further studies. These results on standards of this plant are the first report so far. |
