ABSTRACT

Parangipattai kudineer is a polyherbal Siddha formulation. It is widely used for all types of skin diseases. An attempt had been made to investigate the preliminary Phytochemical studies of aqueous, acetone, methanol, ethanol and chloroform extracts of Parangipattai kudineer (PPK) for fixing the parameters of pharmacognostical standard. Methods: Preliminary Phytochemical studies was done using standard procedure with aqueous, chloroform, ethanol, methanol and acetone extracts of Parangipattai kudineer. The different extracts of PPK was extracted by soxhlet apparatus (Hot percolation method). Results: The results of the test showed that alkaloids, carbohydrate, saponins, phytosterols, flavonoids, tannins, proteins and amino-acids, phenols and quinine, gum and mucilage were present and absence of glycosides and diterpenes. Extract values revealed the solubility and polarity particulars of the metabolites in the PPK.
