Rubia cordifolia L. (common name-Indian Madder, Majith, Manjistha) from the family Rubiaceae is commonly known as is widely dispersed throughout the lower hills of India. The plant is famous drug in the Ayurvedic treatments. Extracts of this plant have shown many important medicinal properties.In this study, we quantified the amount of rubiadin in both roots and aerial part of the plant. Theamount of the active principle is affected by the geographical areas. So, we also compared the amount of rubiadin in different accessions of the R. cordifolia Linn. that have been collected from different geographical areas of the India.
