Abstract

Background: Latex of Euphorbia caducifolia Haines. (Euphorbiaceae), botanical source of Rakta Snuhi, a caustic irritant, is being used in different Ayurvedic therapeutics, after proper processing (Shodhana) in some specific media. Shodhana of Snuhi latex with Chincha-Patra Swarasa (juice of tamarind leaves) using Raudra Yantra (instrument/pot kept under sunlight for drying) has been recommended in Ayurveda texts. Snuhi is one of the Upavisha (sub toxic group of herbal drugs) and a well-known plant in the Indian system of medicine. It is used in pharmaceutical procedures like preparation and processing of drugs.

Aim: The aim of the study was to carry out Shodhana of E. caducifolia latex with Chincha-Patra Swarasa.

Material and methods: Fresh latex of Snuhi was collected from the Sapada area of Jamnagar, Gujarat and fresh leaves of Tamarindus indica L. were collected from the herbal garden of the university and Swarasa was extracted by traditional expression technique. Shodhana of Snuhi Kshira was done under sunlight dried and shade dried method by mixing it with leaf juice of Tamarindus indica L. in a glass bowl in different ratio i.e. Kshira: leaf juice was 8:4, 8:2, 8:1 respectively.

Results: This study reveals certain changes in physico-chemical parameters (pH) and organoleptic characters of processed E. caducifolia latex by Tamarind leaf juice both in shade-dried and sunlight-dried samples. Under HPTLC, Shodhana of E. caducifolia latex with Tamarind leaf juice alters the number of spots both sunlight-dried and shade-dried samples. In sun-dried sample, the number of spots increased when the concentration of Tamarind leaf juice is decreased in HPTLC study. The study reveals that in case of shade-dried Shodhita (processed) Snuhi latex sample, the concentration of lupeol increases with the increasing quantity of Tamarind leaf juice.

Conclusion: Shodhana with Tamarind leaf juice changes both qualitative and quantitative property of Snuhi latex.

与柽柳(Tamarindus indica L.)叶汁的Rakta-Snuhi (Euphorbia caducifolia Haines.)乳胶的加工:药物分析。

背景:大戟(Euphorbia caducifolia Haines)乳胶。(大戟科)，一种腐蚀性刺激物Rakta Snuhi的植物来源，在某些特定介质中经过适当处理(Shodhana)后，被用于不同的阿育吠陀疗法。在阿育吠陀文献中推荐使用Raudra Yantra(在阳光下保持干燥的仪器/锅)将Snuhi乳胶与Chincha-Patra Swarasa(罗罗子叶汁)一起使用。Snuhi是Upavisha(亚毒性草药组)之一，也是印度医学系统中著名的植物。它用于药物的制备和加工等制药过程。目的:研究用金针叶-白桦花对白针叶胶乳的抑菌作用。材料与方法:采自古吉拉特邦贾姆纳格尔萨帕达地区的新鲜Snuhi乳胶，采自该大学植物园内的柽柳树(Tamarindus indica L.)新鲜叶片，采用传统表达技术提取Swarasa。将Snuhi Kshira与柽柳叶汁分别以8:4、8:2、8:1的比例混合在玻璃碗中，采用日光干燥法和阴干法进行Shodhana。结果:本研究揭示了罗望子叶汁在遮荫干燥和日光干燥两种条件下，加工后的酸枝叶乳的理化参数(pH)和感官特性发生了一定的变化。在HPTLC下，与罗望子叶汁混合的酸枝叶乳改变了日光干燥和遮荫干燥样品的斑点数。在晒干后的样品中，随着罗望子叶汁浓度的降低，斑点数量增加。研究表明，在遮晒的情况下，随着罗望子叶汁用量的增加，鲁皮醇的浓度也随之增加。结论:加罗望子叶汁可改变南喜胶乳的定性和定量性质。
