“…In Ayurveda, medicinal plants were practiced to cure human ailments in every possible condition of the time immemorial. In the recent era, we have the advantage of practice them over the synthetic molecules because of minor side effects (Kumari et al, 2019). Ayurveda system of medicine is lourishing due to antiquated knowledge, experiences, and practices based on the theories and expertise of many practitioners in India.…”

In this study, an effort was performed to produce the data on, physicochemical parameters, preliminary phytochemical screening, histochemical studies, and HPTLC data required for the standardization of Balamula Churna concerning root powder of Sida acuta. The physicochemical parameters such as watersoluble extractive, alcohol soluble extractive, and loss on drying at 105 • C, total ash, and insoluble acid ash were determined according to standard methods. HPTLC studies were carried, and Rf values were documented. Physicochemical parameter values were recorded as pH (6.73%) LOD (7.2%) watersoluble extractive value (4.48%), alcohol soluble extractive value (6.88%) total Ash (11.00%) and Acid Insoluble Ash (2.72%). Preliminary phytochemical screening reveals the presence of glycoside, alkaloid, carbohydrate, phenol, lavonoid, and saponin. HPTLC screening showed the occurrence of signi icant phytoconstituents with Rf values 0.07, 0.21, 0.54, and 0.86. The obtained results from this study can be effective in the evaluation of quality, detection of adulteration and substitution, and highlighting the importance of standardization.

Background: Ksheerabala tailam is well known Ayurvedic herbal formulation which is used in inflammations, pains and neurological disorders. The primary botanical source for Ksheerabala tailam is Balamulachurna. The literature refers to Balamulachurna as either of the root powders of Sida cordifolia, Sida acuta, Sida cordata or Sida rhombifolia subsp. retusa. To accomplish the clinical efficacy of Ksheerabala tailam, standardization of Balamulachurna is necessary. Objectives:The study is aimed to establish pharmacognostic standards of Balamulachurna with respect to Sida rhombifolia subsp. retusa root powder. Materials and Methods: Pharmacognostical standardization was carried out by focusing on organoleptic, macroscopic, microscopic, preliminary phytochemical evaluation, heavy metal assessments, fluorescence and HPTLC studies. Results: The roots macroscopic features were noticed as; an elongated taproot with few lateral roots, thick, woody, brown-coloured and bitter to taste. Organoleptic characteristics revealed the nature of the root powder as cream in colour with a pleasant odour and slightly bitter taste. The powder microscopic study specified the presence of fibres, fibre-sclereids, tracheids, vessel elements and calcium oxalate crystals. Physicochemical studies assessed total ash (7.5%), water-soluble ash (4.46%), alkalinity of water-soluble ash (0.4 ml) and acid-insoluble ash (3.3%). The preliminary phytochemical analyses revealed the presence of glycosides, alkaloids, phenols, flavonoids, tannins, terpenoids, and quinones. The HPTLC analyses exhibited various R f values with the diversity of multiple phytoconstituents. Conclusion: The scientific data generated by the study is beneficial for adequately identifying and establishing standards for using Sida rhombifolia subsp. retusa as a primary drug for maintaining the quality and purity of the Ksheerabala tailam, an Ayurvedic formulation.

Background: Despite the medicinal value of the staminate flower of coconut (Cocos nucifera L) there is no data available in the archives for botanical as well as chemical standardisation of flowers of C. nucifera. Aim: Pharmacognostic characters and a phytochemical parameter can be used as a quality standard for authentication of the flower of C. nucifera and detection of adulteration. Methods: Pharmacognostic and phytochemical standardisation of the staminate flower of Cocos nucifera L. was performed as per Ayurvedic Pharmacopoeia of India. It includes studies like morpho-anatomical, powder analysis, preliminary phytochemical evaluation and HPTLC fingerprinting of the flower of C. nucifera. The solvent system in HPTLC studies was Toluene: Chloroform: Ethanol (4:4:1 v/v/v) powder analysis, histochemical test, and preliminary and phytochemical screening were carried out as per standard protocol. Results: Microscopic studies of petal sepals and anther show distinct characteristics that help in the evaluation of the genuine quality of flowers. Physicochemical parameters like loss on drying, total ash, and acid insoluble ash should not be more than 5.58%, 6.8061% and 0.223% respectively. However, water-soluble and alcohol-soluble extractives should not be more than 12.544% and 2.498% respectively. Six prominent bonds of Rf value (0.12, 0.37, 0.48, 0.52, 0.67 and 0.91) were visualised. This Rf value imparts significant quality control data in chromatographic (HPTLC) fingerprinting. Conclusion: Current findings will be helpful in plant authentication, assurance of quality and adulteration detection for staminate flower of C. nucifera.
