Pharmacognosy and study of trikarshika churna a popular polyherbal antioxidant
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Research in Pharmacy and Biotechnology - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
Ancient Ayurvedic lexicon highlights a polyherbal formulations trikarshika for appetite enhancing digestive,febiruge action.Trikarshika is made of equal quantity of dried rhizome of Zingiber officinalis roscoe, Root of Aconitum heterophyllum wall, and rhizome of Cyperus pangorei linn. In present study polyherbal formulation trikarshika in standardization context with invitro antioxidant activity.pharmacognostical study has been incorporated as qualitative standardization of raw materials used. Trikarshika stands with the 4.25% w/w of total ash and acid insoluble ash 3% may be due to its inorganic content. Trikarshika contains 15.9% w/w water soluble extractives, which indicates that it is easily soluble in water. Methanol extract of trikarshika gives 9 and 7 spots on short long uv respectively when separated on planer chromatographic method, which indicates that its chemical component easily separable. Total phenolic content was given satisfactory linearity against galic acid equivalence (R2= 0.99).Total flavonoids content was given satisfactory linearity against quercetin equivalent (R2=0.98).Total tannins was estimated 2.11%. These pharmacognostical, physicochemical and analytical parameter will help to establish further standards of ayurvedic drugs assure their safety, purity and efficacy.
