Authors: Denge KS , PATIL SR, WARE R AND GATFANE RY

ABSTRACT
Background: Patoladi Gana is mentioned in Shodhanai Gana Sangrah of Ashtang Hridya Sutrasthana by Acharya Vagbhat, which is effective in various disorders. For the therapeutic efficacy of any drug, the genuineness of that drug counts. If the drugs are adulterated, then the quality of preparation cannot give the desired result. So, a detailed pharmaceutical study of the drug is needed, including Authentication and Standardization of that drug. Various formulations in Ayurveda have already proven their efficacy but need to be analyzed by modern techniques in this current era. So, for this present study, Patoladi Gana was selected for pharmaceutical evaluation to determine its authenticity. Material and Methods: The raw material was procured, and a preliminary physiochemical analysis was performed. Analysis of samples was conducted as per API standards. After Authentication and Standardization, the powder of raw drugs was mixed in equal quantities to prepare the formulation. Results: Identification and Physiochemical analysis were made, and results were noted. All the raw drugs were authenticated as per the species in the classics. Organoleptic parameters of the raw drugs and the study drug were according to the standards. The results of Standardization comply with the standards given in API. Conclusion: The present work has provided referential information for the correct identification and Standardization of the crude drug. These findings will be helpful in establishing the Standardization of Patoladi Gana in the future. Keywords: Patoladi Gana, Pharmaceutical evaluation, Standardization, Physiochemical analysis
