The Drakshadi gutika is effective for amlapitta (hyperacidity), hrddaha (heart disease), kanthadaha (itching of throat), trsna (thirst), murccha (syncope), agnimandaya (digestive impairment), bhrama (vertigo) and amavata (rheumatism) is official in Ayurveduc formulary in India. Quantification of active principles through modern analytical tools is essential for establishing the authenticity, creditability, prescription and usage of Ayurvedic medicines/herbal formulations. The Ayurvedic formulation Drakshadi gutika has been prepared as per Ayurvedic formulary of India was estimated HPTLC for its gallic acid content. Three-laboratory batch of Drakshadi gutika were estimated for their gallic acid contents against standard gallic acid solution. The method was validated for linearity, accuracy, limit of detection, limit of quantification, inter-day and intra-day assay precision, repeatability of measurement, and repeatability of sample application. The concentration of gallic acid present in raw material was found to be 8.912±0.41w/w in Terminalia belerica, and 0.73±0.63 w/w in vitis vinifera and in three identical laboratory batch of Drakshadi gutika DG-I, DG-II and DG-III, was found to be 3.307±0.52, 3.301±0.63%, 3.314±0.35 w/w respectively. The gallic acid content in all the three different batches is found to be in close proximities with each other. The results were comparable to marketed formulations. Hence the present method is simple, sensitive, precise and accurate and can be adopted for routine quality control of Drakshadi gutika.Keywords

A new, simple, sensitive, selective, precise and robust high-performance thin-layer chromatographic (HPTLC) method developed and validated for the determination of Cinnamaldehyde in Indian traditional formulation (sitopaladi churna) and crude drug extracts. Analysis was performed on TLC aluminium plates pre-coated with silica gel 60F-254 as the stationary phase. Linear ascending development was carried out in twin trough glass chamber saturated with mobile phase consisting of Toluene: Ethyl acetate: Methanol (8:1:1) at room temperature (25±2°C). Camag TLC scanner III was used for spectrdensitometric scanning and analysis in absorbance mode at 295 nm. The system was found to give compact spots for Cinnamaldehyde (Rf value of 0.55±0.02). The linear regression analysis data for the calibration plots showed good linear relationship (r2 = 0.996±0.0003) in the concentration range 200-1200 ng spot−1 with respect to peak area. According to the International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) guidelines, the method was validated for precision, recovery, robustness and ruggedness. The limits of detection and quantification were determined. The Cinnamaldehde content was quantified and estimated from the formulation and the cinnamomum zeylanicum plant part. Statistical analysis of the data showed that the method is reproducible and selective for the quantitatve determination of Cinnamaldehyde.Keywords

Quantification of active principles through modern analytical tools is essential for establishing the authenticity, creditability, prescription and usage of Ayurvedic medicines/herbal formulations. ‘Trikatu churna’ is one of the oldest and popular Ayurvedic preparations, is official in Ayurvedic formulary of India used widely for disorder of respiratory tract and digestive system. It comprised of the fruits Piper longum (Pippali), Piper nigrum (Marica) and rhizomes of Zingiber officianalis (Saunth). The present study is an attempt to develop the fingerprint method for Trikatu Churna by simple high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) determination using Piperine as a standard, which is as an important and major content in formulation. RP- HPLC methods for determination of Piperine from the fruits of Pippali, Marica and Trikatu Churna have been developed. A C 18 LUNA (5 micron 25 cm×4.6 mm) column from Phenomenex in binary gradient mode with mobile phase methanol at flow rate is 1.0ml/min, and effluent was monitored at 342 nm. Validation of the method was done with a view to demonstrate its selectivity, linearity, precision and accuracy. The concentration of Piperine present in raw material was found to be 4.1%± 0.42w/w in marica, and 2.05% ± 0.39w/w in pippali respectively and in three identical laboratory batch of Trikatu Churna name TK-I, TK-II, TK-III, was 2.02%±0.61, 2.23%±0.49, 2.21%±0.53w/w respectively with mean value 2.15%±0.54w/w. The Piperine content of all the three batches is found to be in close proximities with each other. Obtained results were compared with marketed formulations.
