DNA barcoding is a useful tool for species identification and phylogenetic construction. We tested the genus/species identification and phylogenetic construction in three tropical medicinal plants such as P. corylifoilia, M. pruriens and C. ternatea using a universal chloroplast DNA barcode trnH-psbA. The trnH-psbA primer pairs were used to amplify 250 bp DNA fragment in all three genera. The barcode sequences were submitted on NCBI-BLAST search and showed the nucleotide sequence similarity (homology) of 96% with P. corylifolia, 100% with M. pruriens and with 77% C. ternatea.

The comparative studies reveal that enzyme activity was slightly greater in crude extracts of M. pruriens compared to crude extracts of M. prurita, while the fold purity was greater in a partially purified fraction of M. prurita than it was in M. pruriens.
