PHARMACEUTICAL EVALUATION OF PATOLADI GANA- A POLYHERBAL FORMULATION FROM ASHTAANG HRIDYA 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.
