PHYSICO-CHEMICAL STANDARDIZATION AND HPTLC STUDY OF VARUNASHIGRAVAADI GHANAVATI – AN AYURVEDIC HERBO MINERAL FORMULATION
Introduction
The demand for Ayurveda phyto-pharmaceuticals has increased, so an attempt is made to standardize a new pharmaceutical preparation, which is economical in terms of time and mechanical use. The current work is to standardize the finished Varunashigravaadi Ghanavati product to confirm its identity, quality and purity. The demand for Ayurveda phyto-pharmaceuticals has increased, so an attempt is made to standardize a new pharmaceutical preparation, which is economical in terms of time and mechanical use.
Materials and methods
Here, this preparation was standardised by different parameter such as physico-chemical parameters which includes loss on drying, ash value, extractive value, weight variation, hardness etc and Chromatographic Inspection by HPTLC study. All parameters were assessed with the reference to Standard Parameters of Ghanavati (Form of tablet) mentioned in Indian Ayurvedic Pharmacopeia.
Result and Discussion
Result revealed all the physio-chemical as well HPTLC parameters were found within standard limits. The parameters evaluated can be used as reference for further research work.
Conclusion
The analysis of all pharmaceutical parameters is within the allowed range, which can be used as a standard reference for further research and clinical investigations.
