Abstract

Introduction: Patala is one of the most important drug of Dashmoola and widely use in different diseases. It is important content of many ayurvedic preparations. Ayurvedic formulations are considered safe under the impression that they are derived from herbal origin. To study the adulteration of Patala in market, difference in pharmacognostic and phytochechical properties of field collected and market samples of Patala (Stereospermum suaveolens, Roxb. DC) with special reference to Adulteration; which alters the effectiveness of drug, this topic taken for study. Aim: To compare pharmacognostic and phytochemical properties of Field collected and Market samples of Patala (Stereospermum Suaveolens, Roxb. DC). Objectives: 1) To do Physico- chemical screening of all the samples. 2) To do qualitative evaluation by HPTLC (High Performance Thin Layer Chromatography) of all the samples. Materials and Methods: In present study four samples of Patala were taken for analysis; FS i.e. field collected sample and 3 market samples from 3 different zones of Maharashtra ( M1, M2 & M3). These four samples were analised with Pharmacognostic, Phytochemical, Physicochemical properties and HPTLC. Conclusion: The above study revealed that in Ayurvedic formulations we should use Field collected sample.
