Journal Title: Journal of Pharmaceutical and Scientific Innovation - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 5
Abstract
The present study is an effort to develop a polyherbal formulation (Sumukti Syrup) to treat alcohol dependency and its standardization. The compound is prepared with herbs that are nootropic (Medhya), immunomodulators (Rasayana), carminating (Deepana) and with hepatic stimulants (Yakrituttejaka) properties. The ingredients are Kiratatikta (Swertia chirata), Draksha(Vitis vinifera), Katuki (Picrorhizakurroa), Bhringaraja(Ecliptaalba), Mandookaparni (Centellaasiatica), Guduchi(Tinosporacordifolia), Hareetaki (Terminalia chebula), Vibhitaki (Terminalia belerica), Amalaki (Emblicaofficinalis), Ashwagandha(Withaniasomnifera) and Yastimadhu(Glycyrrhiza glabra) which is prepared in Syrup form following standard protocols. The raw materials were collected, authenticated and standardized as per Department of AYUSH, Ministry of Health & Family welfare, Government of India guidelines. In the present study, the physico-chemical parameters in terms of total ash, acid insoluble ash, water soluble extractivevalue and alcohol soluble extractive value of the raw materials are comparable with pharmacopeia standards. HPTLC photo documentation of raw materials as well as finished product provided a hint towards isolation of few constituents to the finished product. The results of total solids, total sugar, reducing sugar, non-reducing sugar, specific gravity and refractive index of study formulation can be considered as preliminary standards.
