Abstract

Background

The present study deals with the GC MS analysis of one Ayurvedic medicine, Kushmanda Rasayanam. Kushmanda rasayanam is a medicine prescribed to treat cough, breathing problems, chest injuries, bleeding disorders and depletive diseases. It is also claimed that its use increases memory power, intellect and is a good heart tonic.

Results

The medicine was procured from standard Ayurvedic vendor at Chennai, India and was subjected to GC MS analysis following proper protocol. It was observed that some important biomolecules such as beta.-1, 5-O-Dibenzoyl-ribofuranose, n-Hexadecanoic acid, 11-Octadecenoic acid, methyl ester, n-Propyl cinnamate, E,E,Z-1,3,12-Nonadecatriene-5,14-diol, Ethyl iso-allocholate, Cholesterol, Hexadecanoic acid, 1-(hydroxymethyl)-1,2-ethanediyl ester do have far reaching medicinal values.

Conclusion

The antioxidant, membrane stabilizing, and anti-inflammatory assays have indicated poor potential of Kushmanda rasayanam as compared to the respective standards.
