ABSTRACT

Withania somnifera is a pantropic native medicinal plant growing all over India belonging to family Solanacease, and is popularly known as “Ashwagandha” due to specific odour (smell of horses). It holds a place in the ayurvedic traditional medicine similar to “Ginseng” in Chinese therapies. During present study SDS-PAGE divides the crude protein extract of seeds and root in 6-10 bands. Three active components were clearly identified by TLC in crude extract of seeds and root of Ashwagandha.
