| Abstract: | Standardization of a compound Ayurvedic
formulation is essential for establishing the authenticity, quality and
efficacy of Ayurvedic medicines/finished herbal product. Laghugangadhar
Churna is a compound formulation containing Cyperus rotundus (rhizome),
Symplocos racemosa (stem bark),
Woodfordia fruticosa (flower), Aegle
marmelos (fruit pulp) and Holarrhena antidysenterica (seeds) as ingredients. It is one of the most
effective and widely used remedy for diarrhoea and dysentery. To achieve the
desired aim four samples of Laghugangadhar Churna were procured from
different Ayurvedic pharmacies and were investigated by microscopy,
physico-chemical parameters and high performance thin layer chromatography
(HPTLC). The microscopic analysis of samples revealed starch grains in three
ingredients viz. C. rotundus, S. racemosa
and W. fruticosa. These plant species
could be differentiated with the help of other diagnostic characters. HPTLC
analysis of all four samples revealed the presence of all the ingredients in
compound formulations as determined by simultaneous application of authentic
ingredients. The diagnostic spots would be utilized as standardization profile.
The physico-chemical data of the formulation assists in maintaining standard
limits of Laghugangadhar Churna. |
