A reversed phase high performance liquid chromatographic procedure for standardizing a popular hepatoprotective Indian herb “Bhumyamlaki” ( Phyllanthus amarus ) on the basis of two of its bioactive lignans, phyllanthin and hypophyllanthin, has been developed. The method has been found to be sensitive, precise and to record more than 98% recovery of the two lignans. The leaves of P. amarus were found to contain the highest amounts of phyllanthin (0.7% w/w) and hypophyllanthin (0.3% w/w) as compared to the other parts of the plant.
