A process for obtaining p-aescin from Indian horse chestnut (Aesculus indica The present
invention relates to development of a process for purification of (3-aescin from Indian horse
chestnut (Aesculus indica). Aescin was obtained from Indian horse chestnut (Aesculus

followed by removal of organic solvent and fractionation of aqueous layer with butanol/
isopropanol saturated with water. Treating the organic layer i.e. Butanol/isopropanol
fraction with base in a separating funnel with gentle shaking. Washing of base treated
organic layer with water saturated with butanol followed by passing of organic layer
through acidic alumina. Distilling the organic layer to yield aescin as white amorphous
powder. The yield is 2.0-3.0% and purity is minimum 90%.
