Pharmacognostical , physiochemical and phytochemical comparative study of the constituent of an antidiabetic polyherbal formulation

Abstract

Multifactorial metabolic diseases develop several complications like hyperlipidemia, hepatic toxicity, immunodeficiency etc., Hence, instead of mono-drug therapy the management of the disease requires the combination of herbs. In the present study the investigation carried out on the pharmacognostical, phytochemical and physiochemical aspects of the leaf part of the plants. Polyherbal formulation of aqueous extracts of Azadirachta indica , Camellia sinensis and ethanol extract asparagus racemosus F1 (N: G: S=2:2:1) 200 mg/kg2:2:1, named F1, (N:G:S=2:1:2) 200 mg/kg2:1:2, named F2, (N:G:S=2:1:1) 200 mg/kg2:1:1, named F3. These Plants are boon to us from the nature as it claims its potentiality as a wide range of herb. The comparative Morphological studies of leaves showed the presence of various diagnostic characters. Ash value, extractive value and moisture content were determined for quality standard of drugs. During the course of the experimental work the leave part showed the presence of various phytoconstituents like flavonoids, tannins, protein, sterol etc.
