Journal Title: Innoriginal: International Journal Of Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 4
Abstract
Objective: In the present study Acacia catechu (Linn.f.) Willd. And Azadirachta indica (A. Juss.) were chosen for Pharmacognostical study and also evaluated chemically. Method: Bark of Acacia catechu (Linn.f.) Willd. And Azadirachta indica (A. Juss.) were chosen for Pharmacognostical study and bark powder were also evaluated chemically along with the determination of TLC. Results : The word analysis means the detailed examination which reveals the minor but most important aspects regarding the drug. So without analytical study, the drug study is incomplete. Analytical study of a product provides some standards and new facts to judge its quality. It is useful to decide the future work plan and objective parameters to know the exact status of the drug by conducting the comparative study of various samples during drug preparation. The Phytochemical and Analytical research, in fact, can play a very crucial role in such research works. With the help of these studies, it is possible to standardize the plant and differentiate the adulterants, which is the need of the hour. The therapeutic efficacies of medicinal plants depend upon its quality and percentage of active principles in it. Finally, both fresh samples of Khadira and Nimba twak are procured and authenticated Pharmacognostically (Macroscopic & Microscopic characteristic). In the Phytochemical study, the observations prepared during the physiochemical analysis of Khadira and Nimba powder according to the different parameter with TLC profile. Conclusion : In Ayurveda, the description regarding the plants is available in the Nighantus, where in various synonyms are given to each plant while describing it. In this pattern, many drugs are available with the same name. So while going through the Ayurvedic texts, no one properly understood as to which exact drug should be taken. While Marketing Ayurvedic drugs, the business minded peoples mix spurious and adulterant drugs in the original drug which make it difficult to identify the original drug. Apart from that, by the help of Pharmacognostical and Phytochemical study, we can suggest substitutes to some rare species and save them from extinction
