Class-Specific HPTLC Fingerprinting of Triterpenoid Saponins and Protoberberine Alkaloids: A Comparative Standardization Model for Gymnema sylvestre and Berberis aristata Hydroalcoholic Extracts
This study establishes reproducible, class-specific HPTLC fingerprinting methods for the qualitative standardization of hydroalcoholic extracts of *Gymnema sylvestre* and *Berberis aristata*, successfully resolving and identifying key triterpenoid saponins and protoberberine alkaloids to ensure batch-to-batch identity confirmation for these co-formulated antihyperglycemic herbs.
