  • Pharmacognostic and Pharmaceutical Study of Panchashirisha Agada: A Novel Ayurveda Formulation
    Jeel Umeshbhai Patel, Sushant Sud, Charmi Mehta, Mehul Mehta
    Journal of Ayurveda and Holistic Medicine, 2025
    Introduction: In today's era, assessing the quality of herbal formulations is crucial and rationale for confirming authenticity before its market release. The World Health Organization has established guidelines for evaluating the safety, efficacy, and quality of herbal medicines. Panchashirisha Agada is a herbal formulation which comprises of Shirisha Phala, Shirisha Moola, Shirisha Twak, Shirisha Pushpa, Shirisha Patra (Albizzia lebbeck Benth.)Aim: To prepare Panchashirisha Agada Vati and authenticate by carrying out physico-chemical assessment. Materials and Methods: Pharamacognostical evaluation was carried out at Pharmacognosy department and Pharmaceutical study was completed in the Pharmaceutical chemistry department of ITRA, Jamnagar respectively. Results: Pharmacognostical findings confirmed the authenticity and genuine ingredients of Panchashirisha Agada. The average values of physicochemical parameters of Panchashirisha Agada Vati were found as follows: pH value:8, loss on drying:12.8%, total ash value:30%, water soluble extractive value:11.4%, alcohol soluble extractive value:15.9%. The hardness of the Vati 5.02 kg/Cm2. Qualitatively TLC study showed 7 major spots at 256 nm,13 spots at 366 nm. Further HPTLC study showed 6 major spots at 254 nm, 7 spots at 366 nm, 12 spots at 540 nm. Conclusion: The trial drug is genuine and devoid of any adulteration and substitution. Data generated can be used to develop a preliminary standard profile criterion for the formulation Panchashirisha Agada Vati.
  • Therapeutic promise of Calotropis procera (Aiton) W.T. Aiton latex for wound healing and keloid prevention: A narrative review
    Vibhu Khanna, Saurabh Singh, Ankit Kumar, Sheetu Wadhwa, Dileep Singh Baghel, Narendra Kumar Panday, Bimlesh Kumar, Tirthanu Ghosh, Gurinder Singh, Mehul Mehta
    Journal of Ayurveda and Holistic Medicine, 2025
    Background: A scar represents an alteration in skin architecture that occurs during the wound-healing process when the regenerated tissue does not fully resemble the original structure. Optimal healing requires a harmonious balance between the deposition and degradation of the extracellular matrix (ECM). Conditions such as keloids and hypertrophic scars (HTS) arise due to excessive collagen accumulation and dysregulated fibroblast activity, primarily influenced by growth factors like PDGF and TGF-β within the ECM. Disturbed maturation of granulation tissue further contributes to abnormal scar formation. Calotropis procera (Aiton) W.T. Aiton, a traditionally recognized medicinal plant in Ayurveda, possesses bioactive latex constituents with significant wound-healing potential. Its soluble latex proteins exhibit hemostatic, pro-inflammatory, and anti-inflammatory actions that support sequential phases of healing. These properties highlight the therapeutic relevance of Calatropis. procera in managing pathological scar formation within holistic and integrative wound-care approaches. Objectives: This review compiles in vitro and in vivo studies on raw and processed latex of Calotropis procera, (Ait.), emphasizing its hemostatic and anti-inflammatory effects. It focuses on gallic acid, quercetin, and kaempferol as secondary metabolites in the lyophilized non-protein fraction, proposing their repurposing as bio-rational agents for anti-scar therapeutic and cosmetic applications. Results: Research supports the latex’s hemostatic, pro-inflammatory, and anti-inflammatory activities in various animal models. Latex cysteine peptidases exhibit thrombin- and plasmin-like activities. It synergistically inhibits inflammatory cytokines such as COX-2, TNF-α, iNOS, and TGF-β, protecting against acute infections. Gallic acid modulates inflammatory mediators, while quercetin and kaempferol provide protective effects against scar formation. Conclusion: Current evidence supports the use of Calotropis procera latex as a hemostatic and anti-inflammatory agent with potential for further development as an anti-scar therapeutic and cosmetic drug. This review suggests its theoretical use in scar management warrants additional investigation.
