Assessment of functional group in herbal formulation sathakuppai chooranam through fourier transform infrared spectroscopy

Background: The Sathakuppai chooranam is a single herbal medicine used in the treatment of Kumbavatham (Periarthritis). Objective: This study aimed to evaluating morphology and elemental charecterization chooranam. Materials methods: ingredients were collected purified drug was prepared as per Siddha literature Vaithiya Pathartha Guna vilakkam. It subjected into characterisation through FT-IR analysis. Results: characterization showed presence functional groups like O-H stretching (carboxylic acid, alcohol molecule), N-H (amine salt),C-H (alkene), salt), C-H (alkene),C=C (conjugate alkene, cyclic alkene,alpha beta unsaturated ketone), N=H bending (amine),O-H alcohol),C-O (alkyl aryl ether, primary alcohol), C-N (amine), S=O (sulfoxide), C=C C-Br (halo compund)which ensures therapeutic effect drug. Conclusion: instrumental analysis for shows stretch bends which responsible its activity. present Chooranam have analgesic, anti-inflammatory activities. will ensure efficacy Chooranam. forms base pharmaceutical
