Abstract:-Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major public health problem in India. Every year approximately 18 lakh people develop TB and about 4 lakh die from it. About one million children develop tuberculosis (TB) annually worldwide, accounting for about 11% of all TB cases. Lots of single and compound drugs have been described in Ayurvedic classics for the management of Rajayakshma (Tuberculosis). Ikshvadi Avaleha is one among them and is very safe to be used in children. The objective of this work is to standardize Ikshvadi Avaleha by means of pharmacognostical and pharmaceutical analysis. Pharmacognostical study that consists of both macroscopic and microscopic features of raw drug exposed to the quality and genuineness of all the constituents of Ikshvadi Avaleha, Specific gravity of prepared Avaleha was 1.245 and pH was 8.2. TLC and HPTLC were carried out after organizing appropriate solvent system in which maximum 4 spots were distinguished in TLC and 3 spots in HPTLC and most of the Rf values were identical when done with different sample extractive methods. It is inferred that the formulation meets the minimum qualitative standards as reported in the API at a preliminary level. The inference from this study may be used as reference standard in the further quality control researches.
Key Words:- Rajayakshma (Tuberculosis) Ikshvadi Avaleha, Pharmacognosy, Physico-chemical Analysis. |
