Most medicinal plants have bioactive compounds which are used for curing of various human diseases and also play an important role in healing. This paper explains about the analysis of Phytochemicals of medicinal plans by HPTLC-MS is more advantages than other methods and reviews on the comparing the results of different methods with the results of HPTLC-MS. In addition to this, emphasize on the previous method is to be more sensitive, low cost and that detect even at low concentration than other technique. There are several methods involved in the analysis of medicinal plants such as spectrophotometry, spectrofluorimetry or electro-analysis, HPLC, LTC as well as HPTLC. From those, to our knowledge, the HPTLC is most important methods to analysis the medicinal plants. The proposed HPTLC-MS method presents high selectivity and sensitivity, adequate accuracy, reliable, reproducible and low-cost.
