Abstract EN
Background and Objective.
Tamalakyadi decoction (TD) is a classical formulation mentioned in authentic traditional medicine text Sarasankshepaya under nasal diseases and used as a remedy for allergic rhinitis.
It consists of 12 plant ingredients.
Decoction preparations are widely used in Sri Lankan traditional system and considered effective and safe for treating many disorders.
However, decoctions have to be used only in fresh state due to shorter shelf life and loss of stability.
This decoction preparation method leads to decreasing the patient compliance and is also time consuming.
Hence, the objective of the present study was to convert TD to consumer friendly novel dosage form, namely, freeze dried, spray dried, and traditional ganasara forms.
Methodology.
Therefore, we compared the phytochemical constituents and antioxidant activities of TD with its modified dosage forms.
The chemical comparison of four dosage forms comprises phytochemical screening, TLC and HPTLC fingerprint profiles and the antioxidant activities by DPPH free radical scavenging activity, Ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), total polyphenol content (TPC), and total flavonoid content (TFC).
Results.
Phytochemical screening revealed the presence of alkaloids, saponins, tannins, steroids, flavonoids, phenols, and terpenoids in all dosage forms.
However, the saponins, alkaloids, flavonoids, terpenoids, and steroids were more prominent in TD and freeze dried preparation than the other two preparations.
HPTLC fingerprint pattern of freeze dried dosage was more similar with HPTLC fingerprint pattern of TD in terms of number of peaks and their intensity compared to that of spray dried and ganasara dosage forms.
Antioxidant activities such as DPPH, FRAP, TPC, and TFC were higher in decoction and freeze dried preparation than in spray dried and ganasara preparation.
Conclusion.
Freeze dried TD is the most suitable ready to use preparation having similar chemical properties and antioxidant activities to TD.
