It is a Himalayan plant, the local people called it \u2018Kaiphala\u2019.<sup>1<\/sup> <em>M. esculenta <\/em>is a well-recognized plant mentioned in the Ayurvedic\u00a0Pharmacopoeia. This plant has numerous pharmacological activities due to active compounds present in them.<sup>2<\/sup> It has been used for its medicinal properties as folk medicine in the treatment of\u00a0asthma, cough, chronic bronchitis, inflammation, fever, ulcers, anaemia, diarrhoea and throat disorders.<sup>3,4<\/sup> However, the upsurge demand for this plant has led to its illicit harvesting and loss of\u00a0habitat.<sup>5<\/sup> It brings plant species to the stage of extinction. The reported pharmacognostical study of plant showed presence of glycosides, flavonoids, alkaloids, tannins and phenolic compounds.<sup>6<\/sup>\u00a0Myricetin is a polyhydroxyflavonol compound (3, 5, 7, 3\u2032, 4\u2032, 5\u2032-hexahydroxyflavonol), commonly found in the plants of the Myricaceae family.<sup>7<\/sup> It is a well-recognized nutraceutical as a key\u00a0ingredient of various foods and beverages. Myricetin exhibits a range of activities including anticancer, antioxidant, antidiabetic and anti-inflammatory activities.<sup>8<\/sup><\/p>\n<p>DNA fingerprinting of any plant extract play an immense role in the quality control of complex herbal drugs due to advancements in chromatographic techniques. In this concern, High-Performance Thin Layer Chromatography (HPTLC) has been gaining much importance. It has become a routine analytical technique due on its reliable results at micro and nanogram levels.<sup>9,10<\/sup>\u00a0HPTLC is a useful technique because of its high sample throughput, cost-effectiveness and minimum sample clean-up requirement. It is also time-efficient and cost-effective.<sup>11<\/sup><\/p>\n<p>Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) is the fast detection tool of complex compounds. It has an advantage over High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) in that TLC detects a large\u00a0number of compounds, however, the resolution of TLC is poor.<sup>12<\/sup> Thus, HPTLC can be used for the detection of compounds that cannot be eluted through HPLC. HPTLC chromatograms are found to\u00a0be a promising tool for fingerprinting of phytoconstituents.<sup>13<\/sup> The color pictures of the HPTLC chromatogram looks attractive and more intuitive unlike Gas Chromatography (GC) and HPLC.<sup>14<\/sup>\u00a0HPTLC method has an advantage over the limitation of plate efficiency and developing distance. Therefore, in this study HPTLC method was developed for quality standard and quantitation of\u00a0myricetin in different solvent extracts of <em>M. esculenta <\/em>plant parts. This study would be a milestone for the analysis of the crude drugs regarding quality control and compound analysis.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Methodology<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Reagents and standards<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The stock solutions (mg\/ml) were prepared fresh with the respective solvents before use. The solution was applied on TLC aluminium plates using a Linomat applicator, which was pre-coated\u00a0with silica gel (Merck, India). The solvents and chemicals used for experimental purposes throughout the experiment were of analytical grade.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Collection and authentically of plant material<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Himalayan region of India present in district of Garhwal where Pinder Velly situated in Chamoli was visited and collected the plants of <em>Myrica esculenta<\/em> Linn. It was authenticated by Dr\u00a0Anurag Chandra, Senior Scientist and Incharge, Forest Research Institute (F.R.I.) Dehradun. The plant specimen was deposited in the herbarium of the institute via voucher no.247\/Dis\/2018\/Syst.Bot.\/Rev.Gen.\/4-5.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Preparation of Extracts<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The plant parts (root, leaf, bark, stem and seed) were washed with distilled water. It was further dried under shade. The dried parts were grounded to form coarse powder. The plant parts were then\u00a0passed to sieve no. 14. The extraction was performed by placing individual plant parts (20 g) in a Soxhlet apparatus. The extraction was performed using different solvents (300 ml each) i.e. ethanol,\u00a0methanol, petroleum ether, chloroform and aqueous extract at 60-65\u2103 for 5 h. The extracts were then filtered and dried in a rotary vacuum evaporator.<sup>3<\/sup><\/p>\n<p><strong>Quantification of <em>Myrica esculenta <\/em>extracts through High-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC) <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Preparation of standard solution<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Myricetin (1 mg\/ml) of concentration was prepared and dissolved in ethanol and then sonicated. The final volume was made up to 10 ml to get the stock solution of 10 \u00b5l\/ml.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Preparation of plant extracts<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Each extract was weighed, to achieve the concentration of 10 mg\/10 ml (1000 \u00b5g\/ml) and dissolved in a respective solvent, make up the volume to 10 ml in a volumetric flask, sonicated and filtered. It was then applied in the concentrations of 1-10 \u00b5l on the stationary phase HPTLC Plates.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Chromatography conditions<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>HPTLC chromatography was comprised with a pre-activated HPTLC plate coated with Silica gel 60 F254. HPTLC system was equipped with CAMAG Linomat-V; a sample applicator device and\u00a0CAMAG TLC scanner-4. The automated TLC applicator Linomat-V was used to apply aliquots of each sample separately to the plate, which was 6 mm wide band and 8 mm from the bottom.\u00a0CAMAG TLC scanner-4 was used to perform a densitometric scan at 254 nm and 366 nm with slit dimensions of 6.00 \u00d7 0.30 mm. The micro scanning speed of CAMAG TLC scanner-4 was 20\u00a0mm\/s. The plates were activated before chromatography at 60\u00b0C, which was pre-washed with methanol. The mobile phase was composed of Toluene: Ethyl Acetate: Formic acid: Methanol\u00a0(3:3:0.6:0.4). The peak height and area as well as spectra were recorded.<sup>15<\/sup><\/p>\n<p><strong>Detection and quantitation<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Thin Layer chromatography was developed using ascending mode. The plates were dried using a hairdryer. CAMAG glass reagents spray was used for derivatization of chromatograms. It was\u00a0sprayed with sulphuric acid (5%) in methanol then heated for 5\u00a0min at 105\u00b0C. The plates were observed at 366\u00a0nm after 30\u00a0min. Quantitative analysis was performed using CAMAG TLC\u00a0scanner-4 for scanning the plates, which was equipped with win-CATS-V 1.2.3 software (CAMAG).<sup>16<\/sup> Figure 1 shows the identification of myricetin. It was confirmed by superimposing the\u00a0UV spectra of the samples. The standards within the same were Rf 0.67. In 366 nm scan, myricetin showed in track 4, a sharp peak at Rf value 0.67, which was closely matching with the sample\u00a0track1: stem ethanol with Rf value 0.68; sample track 2 stem methanol with Rf value 0.68, sample track 3 bark petroleum ether with Rf value 0.70, sample track 5 leaf chloroform with Rf value 0.69\u00a0and sample tract 6 leaf aqueous extract with Rf value 0.69 indicated the presence of myricetin. The characteristic fingerprint profiles were developed through densitometry HPTLC analysis that may\u00a0be used as a marker for standardization and analysis of the drugs.<\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 70%;\" border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"5\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/biomedpharmajournal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Vol15No1_stu_Har_fig1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-43052\" src=\"https:\/\/biomedpharmajournal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Vol15No1_stu_Har_fig1-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Vol15No1_stu_Har_fig1\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/biomedpharmajournal.org\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Vol15No1_stu_Har_fig1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/biomedpharmajournal.org\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Vol15No1_stu_Har_fig1-256x256.jpg 256w, https:\/\/biomedpharmajournal.org\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Vol15No1_stu_Har_fig1.jpg 625w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<td><strong>Figure 1: HPTLC chromatoplate of myricetin and extracts of <em>Myrica esculenta\u00a0 \u00a0<\/em>after derivatization at 366 nm<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/biomedpharmajournal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Vol15No1_stu_Har_fig1.jpg\" target=\"_blank\">Click here to view figure<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Track 1 = stem ethanol, Track 2 = stem methanol, Track 3 = bark petroleum ether, Track 4 = Standard myricetin, Track 5 = leaf chloroform, Track 6 = leaf aqueous extract<\/p>\n<p><strong>Calibration curve of myricetin<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The content of myricetin compound in plant extracts was determined by establishing the standard curve with a concentration range from 50-300 ng\/spot.

different solvent extracts of <em>M. esculenta <\/em>plant parts. Results showed that the highest quantity of\u00a0myricetin was found in methanolic and ethanolic extracts of <em>M. esculenta<\/em> stem and aqueous extract of <em>M. esculenta<\/em> leaf. Kamboj and Saluja, 2017 developed the HPTLC method for stigmasterol from\u00a0stem and leaf of <em>Bryophyllum pinnatum<\/em>.<sup>17<\/sup> They reported that the highest amount of active constituent was seen methanolic extract of the plant. Patel et al., 2010 also reported the\u00a0quantification of active compounds was seen in methanolic extract of the plant.<sup>15<\/sup> The HPLC-ESI-MS can separate and identify anthocyanins and flavonoids from onion with high efficiency and high\u00a0quality.<sup>18 <\/sup>The identification and quantification of active compounds responsible for antiplasmodial activity was also reported in different plant parts <em>viz.<\/em> leaf, stem and root of\u00a0<em>Cissampelos pareira<\/em>.<sup>19\u00a0<\/sup>Kumar et al., 2017 reported the presence of gallic acid in <em>M. esculenta<\/em> by HPTLC in the methanolic extract of leaves.<sup>20<\/sup><\/p>\n<p>A comparative study has shown that myricetin present in higher amount in methanolic extract of stem part followed by ethanolic extract of stem part and aqueous extract of leaf part of <em>M.\u00a0<\/em>esculenta. The quantity of active constituents present in any plant extract affects the activity of plant extract.<sup>21<\/sup> Since myricetin is used in the treatment of a variety of diseases, therefore, its quantification may be helpful in the standardization of herbal formulation. Our results were in\u00a0agreement with the study of Patel et al., 2015 on HPTLC method development for quantification of myricetin in <em>M. esculenta<\/em>.<sup>21<\/sup> They reported a similar quantity of myricetin found in the stem bark of the plant. This study further play a significant role in the conservation and sustainable\u00a0pharmaceutical uses of plant wealth from the Himalayan region. The unorganized activities brings plant species to the stage of extinction. There are different studies involved in the conservation and documentation of medicinal plants from hilly areas.<sup>22-30 <\/sup>The quality of nutraceuticals and medicinal\u00a0substrates are subjects of standardization and copyright.<sup>31-33<\/sup><\/p>\n<p><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The developed HPTLC method for quantification of myricetin present in <em>M. esculenta<\/em> plant was simple, rapid, accurate, precise method. The data present study can be used as a quality control\u00a0standard. The shape of the peak generated through this method enabled a good resolution of myricetin. No interference with the peak of myricetin was seen, it may be due to recovery (96.77\u201399.44%) that was close to 100%. The HPTLC images shown in Figures 1 and 3 indicating samples separated without any diffuseness and tailing. It can be concluded from the study that the proposed\u00a0HPTLC method is sensitive, simple and economic for routine quality control analysis. It can also be useful for the quantification of myricetin from different parts of <em>M. esculenta <\/em>and for standardization purposes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Acknowledgement <\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm; margin-bottom: .0001pt; text-align: justify; line-height: 150%;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"color: black;\">We are thankful to the Institute for providing all facilities required while performing this experiment.
