A Preliminary Investigation for Standardization of Hydroalcoholic Extract of Mucuna pruriens (Kapikaccu): An Important Drug Used to Treat Parkinson’s Disease in Ayurveda
Authors
Abstract
Establishment of standardization for the Ayurvedic formulations is most important for its chemical compounds, biological action, and its quality reassurance in production and manufacturing of traditional herbal medicines. As most of the drugs are standardized, drug companies are using substitute drugs instead of true drugs. So, to make finest superiority drugs it is necessary to validate raw drugs. Observing the existing trend in mind, hydroalcoholic extract of Mucuna pruriens seeds (HAMP) was subjected to standardize the procedures for phytochemical tests. The separation of bioactive substances from HAMP was performed using both manual methods and high-profile thin layer chromatography. From the current study, it is revealed that the seed contains alkaloids, steroids, carbohydrates, tannins, flavonoids, and coumarins, which gave the medicine numerous therapeutic properties.
