| Abstract: | In the present study, an attempt was made to formulate in-house ‘Shivakshar Pachan Churna’, (IN) which was compared with some marketed preparations. (R, Z and V) The study included determination of various physicochemical and phytochemical evaluations which was followed by Chromatographic evaluations (TLC and HPTLC) of the formulations. Further, the study included standardization of these formulations by developing a simple, precise and accurate High Performance Thin Layer Chromatography (HPTLC) method using Ferulic acid (99%) as chemical marker. Chromatographic analysis was performed on silica gel 60 F254 precoated TLC plates using Toluene: Ethyl acetate: Formic acid (14:8: 0.15 v/v/v) for Ferulic acid as mobile phase. The Rf values of Ferulic acid was the basis of confirmation of this marker. The total peak areas of standard marker and corresponding formulations were compared and their contents were estimated in all the formulations. From the results, we observed that, all the physicochemical properties were found to be within the prescribed pharmacopoeial limits. The results also demonstrated that, marketed formulations Z and V had a lowest concentration of Ferulic acid, while laboratory prepared formulations contained more concentration. In conclusion, the analytical method developed herein for standardization of ‘Shivakshar Pachan Churna’ will be helpful in obtaining a quality control profile of this formulation. |
