Abstract

The present work aims to study powder microscopy, physicochemical and high-performance thin-layer chromatography photo documentation and fingerprint profiles of a Siddha drug, Rattha Piththathirku Kudinir Chooranam (RPK). The raw drugs were collected, authenticated and the RPK was prepared. Then the drug was investigated for powder microscopic characters, physicochemical parameters, Thin Layer Chromatographic photo documentation (TLC), High-Performance Thin-Layer Chromatographic (HPTLC) fingerprint profiles of successive n-hexane, successive chloroform, successive ethanol and hydro alcohol (1:1) extracts. The successive and hydro alcohol extracts of the drug displayed distinct TLC spots and HPTLC peaks which are distinct to this drug.
