ABSTRACT
From ancient time, man has been pursuing research on the traditional
systems of medicine, which requires scientific analysis and
standardisation methods to compete with the modern medicine to
globally. The quality control of raw materials is important to justify
their acceptability in medicine. The present investigation reports the
standardisation of raw materials present in polyherbal capsules which
constitutes of Phyllanthus amarus, Eclipta alba, Ocimum sanctum,
Tribulus terrestris, Cassia occidentalis and Piper nigrum. On the basis
of organoleptic character, Morphological character, Microscopical
character and Powder Microscopical character every plant is identified.
The raw materials were subjected to physiochemical evaluation in
order to find out its quality and purity of the drugs. Finally, the standardisation procedures
have been experimented by phytochemical analysis. Phytochemical test and Chromatographic
analysis were also carried out in order to find out the chemical constituents present in the
drugs. From the present investigation, it can be concluded that the raw materials were
standardised in accordance with the standards laid down in Ayurvedic Pharmacopoeia of
India.
Keywords: Polyherbal formulation, Raw materials, Standardisation, Physiochemical parameters, phytochemical analysis.
