Abstract

Majority of Ayurvedic practitioners uses traditional herbal preparations for their treatment purposes made by them. So it is necessary to improve safety of herbal drugs by developing certain quality control parameters and by following the WHO guidelines for herbal medicines. Our adulteration. Now days, old methods are necessary but there are lots of limitations to these methods due to shortage of many drugs, unavailability or limited source, adulteration, lack of knowledge of drug identification and adverse effects of drugs etc. Standardization of herbal formulation is essential in order to assess the quality of drugs for therapeutic value. The World Health Organization (WHO) in 1999 has given a detail protocol for the standardization of herbal drugs comprising of a single content, but very little literature is available for the standardization of Shatavari Churna. Two marketed preparations were used for the study. Performed the various parameters including organoleptic characteristics and physicochemical parameters. The set parameters were found to be sufficient to standardize the Shatavari Churna.

Abstract

OPLC is coming of age. Its rudimentary beginnings, some 25 years ago, have lead to innovative, highperformance products. The commercialization of modern, high efficiency columns has eliminated the need for analysts to prepare their own from TLC plates, making the technique even more accessible. Optimum performance laminar chromatography (OPLC) is a pumped flow chromatography technique that combines the user-friendly interface of HPLC with the capacity of flash chromatography and the multidimensionality of thinlayer chromatography. This review will describe the basis of modern OPLC instrumentation and the separation techniques, as well as give a brief account of some recent applications in OPLC.

Keywords

Abstract

The present study was designed to prepare sunscreen herbal formulations gel. Hibiscus rosa-sinesis L. (Malvaceae), Rosa Damascena (Rosaceae), Spathodea campanulata L. (Bignoniaceae) is one of the well-known drugs for its therapeutic values in traditional medicine. In the present study the drug was screened for its cosmetic use. All the three herbal drugs containing flavonoid showed sunscreen activity. The sunscreen activities of gel formulations could be related to the free radical scavenging properties of polyphenol compounds in the extracts incorporated in it. The method is performed by UV -visible spectrophotometry in the range of 200-400nm. Result of the extracts alone and gel formulation showed maximum absorbance at 270-300nm.
