RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Rajanyadi curna (RC) is an ayurvedic classical preparation used in the treatment of digestive disorders, fever, jaundice, anemia, and asthma. We seek to standardize this drug to ensure its quality. OBJECTIVE: The current investigation was aimed at the preparation of curna in three batches so as to standardize it. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The curna was prepared in-house in three different batches according to directions given in The Ayurvedic Formulary of India. The curna was evaluated based on organoleptic characters, physical characteristics, and physico-chemical parameters. High performance thin layer chromatography was carried out for the quantification of curcumin. RESULTS: The parameters were found to be comparable and sufficient for the evaluation of the curna. CONCLUSION: Ayurvedic medicine, RC has been standardized using the various parameters and can be incorporated while developing the pharmacopoeial standards.
