PHYTOCHEMICAL MARKER BASED EVALUATION OF RAJAPRAVARTINI VATI USING HPTLC
AbstractRajapravartini Vati is an Ayurvedic formulation prescribed for gynaecological and menstrual disorders such as amenorrhea and is comprised of raw materials, namely Shuddha Kasisa (purified green vitriol), Hing (purified Ferula asafoetida), Tankana (purified borax) and Kumari (Aloe vera) mixed in equal proportions. The present work focuses on HPTLC-based evaluation and phytochemical profiling of commercially available Rajapravartini Vati samples. The work proposes a phytobioactive compound detected in the commercial samples as a marker compound for evaluation of Rajapravartini Vati. It also establishes it as a compound different from conventional expected marker compounds such as aloin from Aloe vera and ferulic acid from Ferula asafoetida, which were not detected in the commercial samples but only in the in-house laboratory raw material mixture. Aloin and ferulic acid were subsequently quantified in the prepared sample at concentrations of 0.99 mg/g and 0.92 mg/g respectively. The findings of the study thus provide valuable insights into the phytochemical fingerprint of Rajapravartini Vati and will help propel future work on the marker compounds studied herein.
