Abstrakt: Metabolite stuffing may depend upon the session of the collection, soil condition, and geographical regions of the collection site, and this impacts the quantitative production and biological potential of the plant species. A total of 14 accessions of Plumbago zeylanica were collected from different locations in Central India to cover the entire range of topography from the foothills up to the highest peak. The instrumental thin-layer chromatography‒ultraviolet detection (instrumental TLC‒UV) method was used to quantify plumbagin and unweighted pair group method with arithmetic mean (UPGMA) cluster analysis to identify elite sources. The present investigation aims to identify the best quality planting material of P. zeylanica, in terms of elite chemotypes collected from different locations of Central India. UPGMA cluster analysis revealed the variation of the plumbagin content (0.0038‒0.6091% dry weight basis) among the collected accessions of P. zeylanica. The cluster analysis of plumbagin content depicted the distinctness in plant metabolite contents between the individuals as they were clustered by difference between accessions. This study will also promote the use of P. zeylanica in herbal drug development and will aid in the site-specific exploration of elite chemotype(s) with validated pharmacological action to meet the medicinal and commercial demands.
