Description :
Ayurveda has gained worldwide attention due to its efficacy. Ayurvedic medicines are formulated from medicinal plants using modern scientific techniques. Standardization of these prepared medicines plays a very crucial role for their authentication. As the need for safer drugs is increasing, an awareness has been drawn to the quality and standards of the ayurvedic formulations. As these formulations are based on plant materials, it is rich in phytochemicals. The main aim of the present work was to quantify different polyphenols present in the samples of Lohasava, Punnarnavasa, Amritarishta and Kirayatikadha. The polyphenols identified by RP-HPLC could be used as phytochemical analytical markers for these formulations. These findings can certainly help in the quality assurance during the manufacturing of the given formulations.
