Sitopaladi churna is well known ayurvedic formulation is official in Ayurvedic Formulary of India, traditionally used for asthma, cough and cold, tuberculosis, chest pain, chronic rhinitis/sinusitis, coryza and other respiratory disorders. It is used as an anti-tussive, analgesic and antipyretic. It is observed that the consistency and content varies from one manufacturer to another which affects therapeutic activity of the formulations. Hence, it is needed to develop a protocol for the evaluation of herbal drugs. In this study attempts to evaluate the main parameters of drug standardization like Organoleptic characteristics, phamacognostic study, extractive values, ash values, physical characteristics, loss on drying and TLC. This study on Sitopaladi churna was precise, reproducible and may be considered as a protocol for its evaluation and establishment.Keywords

Herbal drugs are traditionally used in various parts of the world to cure different diseases. The present study has been conducted to evaluate the quality control parameters of the hydro alcoholic extracts of Tephrosia purpurea Linn ;an important Indian medicinal plant widely used in the preparation of Ayurvedic formulations. Tephrosia purpurea Linn. is a highly branched, sub-erect herb commonly known in Sanskrit as Sharapunkha. It has been used in Indian traditional medicine for the treatment of various inflammatory disorders. The plant is used to cure diseases of the kidney, liver, spleen, heart, blood, skin eruptions, bronchitis, bilious febrile attack, boils, pimples, and bleeding piles. The dried herb is effective as a tonic, laxative, and diuretic. The ischolar_mains and seeds are have insecticidal, piscicidal and vermifugal properties.
As there is no detailed standardisation work reported on Tephrosia purpurea Linn extract, the physicochemical parameters, phytochemical analysis, toxic heavy metals and microbial contamination analysis are carried out. The study revealed specific identities for the particular crude drug which will be useful in identification and control to adulterations of the raw drug and Ayurvedic formulations.
