A REVIEW ON ANALYTICAL STUDIES AND PHARMACOLOGICAL EVALUATION OF POLYHERBAL FORMULATIONS

In standardization process, quality and purity of crude drugs are evaluated by various parameters. For herbal formulations, along with the chemical, physical, phytochemical, in- vivo vitro parameters, it is significant to determine its standards. traditional system medicine, developments analytical parameters an important step in establishing products, presence phytoconstituents therapeutic efficacy. this review, Avipathy Avipattikar churna, both polyherbal formulations having nine similar ingredients (Sunthi, Marica, Pippali, Amlaki, Musta, Vidanga, Elaichi, Patra, Trivit) but they different terms indication method administration. churna targeted mainly achieve pitta balance whereas for all three dosha specified Ayurvedic medicine. This review provides data on control studies such as Gas Chromatography coupled Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS), High Performance Thin Layer (HPTLC), Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS), Ultraviolet spectroscopy (UV) pharmacological evaluation churna. The study shows marker compounds. helps draw new conclusions from existing identify research areas. They assure quality, safety formulations.
