Abstract
A new alkaloidal principle was isolated from the leaves and stem of Mucuna pruriens. The plant is a reputed remedy for sexual and nervous diseases in Ayurveda. Authentic plant material was collected from reputed source, the extraction was carried out with soxhlet apparatus using carbon disulfide as solvent. The extract of the leaves and stem of the plant was tested positive for alkaloid using confirmatory tests. High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was used for determination of alkaloids in the extract. The calibration graph of peak area for alkaloids was noticed.
