Abstract

PHARMACOGNISTICAL AND PHYTOCHEMICAL EVALUATION OF DARUHARIDRA

Sarvesh Kumar Bharati*, Abhishek Kumar, Bhuwal Ram and Anil Kumar Singh

ABSTRACT

The Ayurvedic system of medicine is prevalent in India since the Vedic period and as early as the down of human civilization. The pharmacognosy is the study of identification of drugs derived from natural sources. The pharmacognosy and phytochemistry are necessary for authentification of crude drug and to prove therapeutic action as well. The present work deals with the pharmacognostical and preliminary phytochemical studies on the root of Berberis aristata DC. Daruharidra (Berberis aristata DC.) is well known plant in Ayurveda. It has been mentioned in Vedas, Brihattrai and later it has been described in Nighantu. Pharmacognostical parameters for the root of Berberis aristata DC.was studied with the aim of drawing the pharmacopoeial standards for this species. Macroscopical and microscopical characters, physicochemical constants, quantitative microscopy parameters and extractive values with different solvents. Preliminary phytochemical screening on the root of Berberis aristata DC. was studied. The Powder microscopy of root showed the presence of lignified cells, calcium oxalate crystals, Aleuronic grains and Hemicelluloses. The phytochemical investigation shows the presence of alkaloid, carbohydrate and saponin glycosides compounds in the root of Daruharidra. The determination of these characters will help future researchers in their phytochemical as well as pharmacological analysis of this species. TLC profile was established for successive extracts of the root powder using TLC system.
