ABSTRACT: Datura (Datura metel Linn.) is a herbaceous leafy annual and short-lived plant of the Solanaceae family. It's commonly known as Angel's trumpet, Devils apple, Jimson weed, stinkweed, and Thorn apple. The traditional system of medicine enlightened the importance of Datura metel Linn. of its great medicinal value. The roots, leaves and flowering tops have been used in India for their narcotic and antispasmodic properties in the treatment of numerous ailments and conditions. The juice of fresh leaves is used to relieve the painful swellings. The seeds and root possess anti-diarrheal and are used to treat insanity and fever. All parts of Datura are poisonous in nature, and it’s mentioned under sthavara visha category by Ayurveda. In the present study, roots of Datura, which are less toxic compared to the other parts of the plant, were studied both in raw and purified form. AS the drug, in general, was considered poisonous, purification was done with Ayurveda procedure (Shodhana Samskara) to reduce the toxicity of the noxious drug for its chemical profile and pharmacological potential through physciochemical and phyto-chemical analysis.

INTRODUCTION: Datura (Datura metel Linn.) is a herbaceous leafy annual and short-lived plant of the Solanaceae family with perennials that can grow up to two meters of height found at all tropical regions of India mainland 1. It's commonly known as Angel's trumpet, Devils apple, Jimson weed, stinkweed, and Thorn apple. The name Datura comes from the early Sanskrit terminologies Dustura or dahatura.
The plant is considered poisonous, among which the seeds are considered the more toxic compared to other parts of the plant. Even though toxic, Datura is used as a phytomedicine to treat various diseases. The whole plant, particularly the leaves and seeds, is used as an anesthetic, antispasmodic, anodyne, anti-asthmatic, anti-tussive, bronchodilator, and as hallucinogenic 2.
It is also used to manage skin diseases, ulcers, burns, rheumatic pains, hemorrhoids, diarrhea, epilepsy, hysteria and insanity. It’s even used to calm the cough and treat laryngitis and trachitis 3. A variety of phytochemicals have been found in Datura metel Linn. such as alkaloids, flavonoids, phenols, tannins, saponins and sterols 4. The whole plant of Datturametel Linn. contain Scopolamine (Hyoscine) and. Atropine increases gradually with the progress of developmental growth and is most pronounced when the plant is at the end of its reproductive stage. The Scopolamine accumulation is highest in the root after 16 weeks 4. The root contains a higher amount of atropine as compared to the other parts. The areal part usually accumulated relatively higher amounts of Scopolamine and relatively lower amounts of atropine.
The total alkaloid contains 0.426%, which is mainly atropine. The seeds contain 0.426% of alkaloids which is mainly hyoscyamine. The roots contain 0.35% hyoscyamine 4. Datura contains dangerous levels of tropane alkaloids which are highly poisonous and is fatal if ingested; it can produce symptoms like dryness of mouth, nausea, vomiting, dysphasia dysarthria, diplopia, delirium, hallucination, dry and hot skin (due to inhibition of sweat secretion) and red (due to the dilatation of cutaneous blood vessels) skin especially in the face/ chest, drowsiness later it can lead to coma than death 5.
Ayurveda discusses Datura (Datura metel Linn.) under the Upavisha category of plants 6 and as specified, any potent poison can be utilized in treatment as an excellent medicine if used judiciously, on the contrary. This potent medicine can act as a potent poison if used injudiciously 7. In Ayurvedic formulations, the leaf, seed, stem and even the plant as such, including its roots, are widely used for its ant cholinergic and delirium properties. AS Datura is poisonous before using detoxification of the plant part must be done, here Dola yantra swedana method of shodhana samskara is used with godugdha (cow milk) as shodhana dravya 8 Shodhanasamskara is done with shodhana dravya which is separately mentioned in Ayurveda for each. In the present study, Ashodhitha Datura moola (Raw Datura metel Linn. root) and Shodhitha Datura moola (detoxified Datura metel Linn. root) was used for the study.
MATERIALS AND METHODS:
Drug Collection and Preparation: Raw Datura (Datura metel Linn.) roots were collected from the Ernakulam District of Kerala state in March. It was dried in sunlight for 4 days; once the root was dried, it was subjected to shodhana samskara.
Shodhana Samskara: Specific shodhana method for Datura root was not available; the method of Dolayantra swedana explained for detoxification of Daturabeeja (seed) was implemented using Godugdha (cow milk) as shodhana dravya.
Material: Datura root, godughdha (cow milk) both in the required quantity, earthen pot, cotton cloth, gas stove, and cylinder.
Shodhana of Drug:
- Shodhana of the drug was done by Dola yantra swedana with godughdha
- The dried drug (DaturaMoola) was chopped into small pieces so that a pottali can be made for swedana purposes.
- Then a pottali was made using a medium-thick cotton cloth (thickness must be in such a way that the cloth must not tear, but it must help in shodhana of the drug).
- Then a potali was dipped into DolaYantra filled with milk (quantity sufficient so that pottali completely dips in milk).
- Swedana was done for 3 h.
- After kept under sunlight for drying.
- After the drug got completely dried, it was powdered using a pulverizer, and it was made into nice powder (maximum nice).
- Then it was packed in airtight packets according to requirement.
Physcio-Chemical Analysis and Phyto-Chemical Analysis: Analytical study is the application of a process or a series of processes to identify and/or quantify a substance, the components of a solution or mixture, or the determination of the structures of chemical compounds.
Samples Taken:

- Ashodita Datura
Methods Opted For Analysis:
- Loss on drying,
- Ash value
- Acid insoluble ash
- Alcohol soluble extractive
- Water soluble extract
- HPTLC
- Preliminary phytochemical tests
Methodology 9:
Loss on Drying at 105 °C: 10 g of sample was placed in tared evaporating dish. It was dried at 105 °C for 5 h in hot air oven and weighed. The drying was continued until the difference between two successive weights was not more than 0.01 after cooling in a desiccator. Percentage of moisture was calculated with reference to weight of the sample.
Total Ash: 2 g of sample was incinerated in a tared platinum crucible at a temperature not exceeding 450 °C until carbon-free ash is obtained. The percentage of ash was calculated with reference to the weight of the sample.
Acid Insoluble Ash: To the crucible containing total ash, add 25 ml of dilute HCl. Collect the insoluble matter on ashless filter paper (Whatmann 41) and wash with hot water until the filtrate is neutral. Transfer the filter paper containing the insoluble matter to the original crucible, dry on a hot plate, and ignite constant weight. Allow the residue to cool in suitable desiccator for 30 min and weigh without delay. Calculate the content of acid insoluble ash with reference to the air dried drug.
Alcohol Soluble Extractive: Weigh accurately 4 g of the sample in a glass stoppered flask. Add 100 ml of distilled alcohol (approximately 95%). Shake occasionally for 6 h. Allow to stand for 18 h. Filter rapidly taking care not to lose any solvent. Pipette out 25 ml of the filtrate in a pre-weighed 100 ml beaker. Evaporate to dryness on a water bath. Keep it in an air oven at 105 °C for 6 h, cool in a desiccator for 30 min and weigh. Calculate the percentage of Alcohol extractable matter of the sample. Repeat the experiment twice, and take the average value.
Water Soluble Extractive: Weigh accurately 4 g of the sample in a glass stoppered flask. Add 100 ml of distilled water, shake occasionally for 6 h. Allow to stand for 18 h. Filter rapidly taking care not to lose any solvent. Pipette out 25 ml of the filtrate in a pre-weighed 100 ml beaker. Evaporate to dryness on a water bath. Keep it in an air oven at 105 °C for 6 h. Cool in a desiccator and weigh. Repeat the experiment twice. Take the average value.
HPTLC: 1 g of the powdered drug was extracted with 10 ml of alcohol. 5, 10 and 20 µl of the above extract was applied on a precoated silica gel F254 on aluminum plates to a bandwidth of 8 mm using Linomat 5 TLC applicator.

DISCUSSION: Datura (Daturametel Linn.) is a drug mentioned under upavisha category according to Ayurveda ie its poisonous drug as a whole, still it’s used in medicinal formulations after Shodhana or purification procedure. The Physcio chemical study of both Shodita and Ashodita Datura mula was done and it was observed thatthe Ash value which is useful in determining authenticity and purity of the sample and also these values are important qualitative standards were, totalash value, acid insoluble ash, was found to be 11.15%, 2.55% in Ashoditha and 3.7 %, 0.55% in shoditha respectively. This percentage clearly indicates that the root is good for drug action and effects.
The Water-soluble extractive value plays an important role in the evaluation of crude drugs. The less extractive value indicates the addition of exhausted material, adulteration, or incorrect processing during drying or storage.
‘The alcohol-soluble extractive value was also indicative for the same purpose as the water-soluble extractive value.
The water-soluble extractive value proved to be higher than alcohol soluble extractive value.
It was found to be 12.66%, 4.93% ashodhita, and shodhitha respectively in water-soluble extractive and 2.39% 6.64% Ashoditha and shodithain alcohol soluble extractive respectively.

This shows that the constituents of the drug are more extracted and soluble in water as compared to alcohol in shoditha Daturamula and its vice versa in Ashodita Datura Mulaloss on drying was 7.84% in shoditha and 9.08% in Ashoditha datura mula (root) respectively its influenced by the shodhana dravya (Godugdha) used for the detoxification purpose. The preliminary phytochemical studies in the test drugs revealed alkaloids, Carbohydrate, glycoside & Steroidsin both Ashodhita Datura Mula and Shodhita Daturamula in Godugdha Shodhita. In Shodhita datura beeja, Steroids were found to be present. The presence of alkaloids in both Datura samples i.e ashodhita and shodhita samples indicates that alkaloids have not been completely removed but some percent of alkaloids reduction might have occurred in the Daturamula (Daturametellinn. root) after the detoxification procedure which may be responsible for the improved pharmacological action. The TLC profile of ethanol extract of Shoditha and Ashoditha Datura moola is shown in Fig. 1. The Rf values of various spots in the TLC profile are given in the Table 3. At 254 nm Shoditha and Ashoditha Datura Moola 4 spots each were observed, at 366nm Shoditha Datura moola showed 10 spots, Ashoditha Datura moola showed 12 spots, and the plate when derivatized showed 9 spots. HPTLC Densitometry scan of alcohol extract of Shoditha and Ashoditha Datura Moola (10 µl) at 254 nm, alcohol extract of Shoditha showed 9 peaks Fig. 2. of which 2 were major peaks at Rf 0.10, 0.3, whereas Ashoditha showed 11 peaks Fig. 3. of which 1 was a major peak at Rf 0.3, rest all are smaller peaks, at 366 nm alcohol extract of Shoditha showed 8 peaks Fig. 4. of which 1 major peak at 0.3 Rf and others at 0.09, 0.60 Rf were moderately small and rest were small peaks and in Ashoditha 10 peaks were observed in which 1 major peak Fig. 5. at 10 Rf., 3 moderate peaks at 0.01 Rf, 0.15 Rf. and 0.21 Rf respectively, all others were smaller peaks

CONCLUSION: The various analytical standards evaluated provide useful data in the standardization and quality control of the drug. The results of preliminary Phytochemical screening of Datura metel Linn. root revealed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins glycosides. Herbal medicines are composed of many constituents and are therefore capable of variation. Hence, it is very important to get reliable chromatography fingerprints that represent herbal medicine's pharmacologically active and chemically charac-teristic components. The obtained TLC/HPTLC fingerprinting profile of various extracts of Datura metel Linn. root was used as a quality control tool and will play a major role in herbal drug standardization in the proper identification of the plant.
