Analytical Study of Bilvadi Ashchyotana and Eye Drops for Evaluation of Phytochemistry by Spectrophotometry and Chromatography

Analytical Study of Bilvadi Ashchyotana and Eye Drops

Abstract

Background: Pharmacognosy is the scientific study of the structural, physical, chemical and sensory characters of crude drugs of animals, vegetable and mineral origin and includes also their history, cultivation and collection. The quality of finished product entirely depends on the quality of the raw materials. Therefore first step of them is the quality control aspects of raw material. In the present study an attempt had been done authentication of the raw material (Bilvadi Yavakuta) used for the clinical study. Objectives: To evaluate the organoleptic characters of the test drugs; To assess the physicochemical parameters of the test drugs. Method: Present study was carried out in Department of Shalakyatanta, I. P. G. T. & R. A., Jamnagar during the period of May ’09 to Jan ’10. The phytochemical study was carried out using various physio-chemical parameters for both trial drugs i.e. 1. Bilvadi Ashchyotana and 2. Bilvadi Eye Drops. Results: HPTLC of Bilvadi Ashchyotana and Bilvadi eye drops shows 7 spots and 8 spots under 254nm wave length and 5 spots and 4 spots under 366nm wave length respectively. Conclusion: pH of the Bilvadi Ashchyotana and Bilvadi Eye Drops are comes under the crieteria of the pH (7.1) according to modern ophthalmology pharmaceutical. For identification of a compound, after isolation we need to adopt bulk handling facility. [Udani J NJIRM 2017; 8(3):120-126]
