Journal Title: The Journal of Phytopharmacology - Year 2019, Vol 8, Issue 2
Abstract
Background: Aragvadhadi taila is a Sneha Kalpana, indicated in Kushtha Roga specially in Shvitra (Vitiligo) Roga. In present study, it has been used for external application in Shvitra (Vitiligo) Roga. Objective: Present study is aimed to look out on herbal drugs used in the preparation of Aragvadhadi taila and standardization of Pharmacognostical, Physicochemical parameters and HPTLC evaluation. Methods: Intermediate product sample (Kalka) identification and authentication was done by pharmacognostical study i.e. morphological features, organoleptic characters and powder microscopy. Physicochemical evaluation and HPTLC was carried out of final product. Results: Pharmacognostical Study of Intermediate product sample (Kalka) showed presence of Scleroids, Spoon cells, Tannin containg cells, Cluster crystal, Rosette crystal, Oil globules, Lignified fibres etc. Pharmaceutical evaluation showed results specific gravity 0.91, Refractive Index 1.4870, Acid Value 7.12, Saponification Value 316, Iodine Value 7.58. High Performance Thin Layer Chromatography at 254nm and 366 nm results in to 8,5 and 6 spots before and after spray respectively. Conclusion: Identification, Authentication of Herbal drugs used in the preparation and Intermediate product sample (Kalka) has been done. Physicochemical evaluation has been carried out of prepared drug which is further useful for standardization of Aragvadhadi taila and another researches
