Chromatographic analysis of selected phytosterols from and their characterization by docking to potential therapeutic targets.

Separation and quantification of lupeol, stigmasterol and swertiamarin in ethanolic extracts of selected species have been developed using HPTLC and an attempt is made to explore the biopotential of phytochemicals against various proteins by computational analysis. Compounds were separated using the specific mobile phase and the developed plates were sprayed with respective spraying reagents. The 3D structure of the receptor proteins viz.
