Analytical Standards of Amrtadi Churna: A Classical Ayurvedic Formulation

Abstract

The present investigation was carried out to characterise the Ayurvedic preparation, Amrtadi churna, a polyherbal formulation comprising of three ingredients, on the basis of the pharmacognostic, physicochemical, pharmaceutical, microbiological, toxicological, spectroscopic and chromatographic parameters to confirm its identity, quality and purity. The results obtained in this evaluation demonstrated the potential to identify each and every ingredient in Amrtadi churna. The parameters documented in this paper could be used for the preparation of the monograph on quality standards for Amrtadi churna to maintain its batch-to-batch consistency. This document could also be utilised for Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and high performance thin layer chromatography based rapid authentication for the formulation.

Facile fabrication of Nishamalaki churna mediated silver nanoparticles with antibacterial application

“…The extracts of Nishamalaki Churna and its two ingredients were subjected to HPTLC fingerprinting analysis by an HPTLC instrument (CAMAG) [ 16 ]. These three solutions were individually spotted at two different concentrations (2 μL and 5 μL) by the Linomat 5 auto sample applicator on a commercially available Silica gel 60 F 254 HPTLC plate (10 cm × 10 cm).…”

Evaluation of Anti-Ulcer and Anti-Diarrhoeal Activities of the Ayurvedic Formulation Udumbara Ghanasatwa

“…80 to get uniformly blended churna [5] . Powder microscopic analysis of the churna was carried out and characteristic features were observed by a Carl Zeiss binocular microscope attached with a camera [6] . The remaining portion of churna was stored in an airtight container for preparation of formulation.…”

Best therapeutic activity of Rasna saptak kwath may be achieved by its hydro-alcoholic dosage form: A comparative study

“…After completion of the digestion process, the filtered samples were analysed by Atomic Absorption Spectrometer (AAS). However, being volatile, mercury (Hg) and arsenic (As) were digested using nitric acid-hydrochloric acid-potassium permanganate system before analysis [24] . The standards of Pb, Cd, As, Hg, Zn, were purchased from Merck, Germany and utilised for development of the respective calibration curves for these metals.…”
