Udayabhaskar Rasa.

Physico chemical standardization of Udayabhaskara Rasa.

To evaluate the anti-microbial activity of Udayabhaskara Rasa against common pathogenic bacteria.

A comparative anti microbial study to evaluate the role of Rasakarpura. Rasa-pushpa and Jaypala seed.

For the above aims and objectives, five different samples of Udayabhaskara Rasa were prepared, as follows with their codes: -

U1- As per the specification of Rasa Kalpa Lata (Rasa Kalpa Lata formula-tion

No.158, Chapt. 7, Pg. No. 22 Verse no. 45-46). U2- As per the specification of Rasa

Yoga Sagar.( Rasa Yoga Sagar, Part- I , formulation No. 369 , Verse No. 1520-1522, Pg. No. 162) U3- This was prepared from Rasapushpa

in place of Rasakarpura. U4- Devoid of Rasakarpura and Rasa-

pushpa. U5- Devoid of Jaipala seed (Croton tig-

lium Linn)PLAN OF STUDYA. Pharmaceutical Study

In this study, five different samples were prepared including standard formula-

tion of Udayabhaskara Rasa as per the speci-fication of Rasa KalpaLata in the depart-mental laboratory of Rasashastra and Bhai-shajya Kalpana, NIA, Jaipur The main im-plication of this study was to standardize the processes involved in it. B. Physico-Chemical Study

In present research work, for physi-co-chemical standardization, standard sam-ple of Udayabhaskara Rasa as per Rasa Kal-paLata specifications prepared (U1), Sample U2 as per the specification of Rasa Yoga Sa-gar and Sample U3 (prepared from Rasa-pushpa in place of Rasakarpura) were also taken for the standardization of process in-volved in it. Materials and methods were followed according to “Pharmacopoeial Standards for Ayurvedic Formulations” –C.C.R.A.S.C. Antimicrobial Study

The aim of this study was to assess the comparative antimicrobial activity of different samples. For this study, Aqueous and Methanol extracts of the samples were prepared. In vitro studies were undertaken to assess the antimicrobial activity. For both types of extracts, disc diffusion method and for different samples, which were in fine powder form, Well method was employed.

Following common pathogenic strains of bacteria were procured from “In-stitute of Microbial Technology” (IM-TECH), Chandigarh.Table- Showing the Species of Bacteria and their MTCC NO. -

These stock cultures were main-tained on solid media, Blood Agar for Strep-tococcus pyogenes and Nutrient Agar for other bacterias, of Himedia Lab. Pvt. Ltd., Mumbai. This anti-microbial study was car-ried out at ‘Birla Institute of Scientific Re-search’, Jaipur. The antimicrobial effects were assessed on the basis of the scale de-veloped by Arora D.S. et al (1997).2.Relevance of the study:In Ayurvedic literature the word “krimi” has very much potential. There are abundant materials available regarding krimi in Vedic literatures especially in Atharvaveda. Maha-rishis classified them on the basis of visibili-ty, colour, size, shape and their place in hu-man body. Size dependent classification has two divisions, one is Sukshama (Microor-ganisms) and another is Sthula (Macroor-

ganisms). The details of krimi have also been described very efficiently in Samhita-Granthas.The word ‘krimi’ was used in a broad sense in Ayurvedic literature i.e. it includes all the pathogenic and non-pathogenic organisms covering a wide range of infection and infes-tation caused by a host of agent ranging from viruses to worms. As per CharakaSamhita,( Ch.Su., 11/45) ‘Bhutabhishanga’ is also responsible factor to cause diseases1. One of the three major divisions of disease i.e. ‘AgantujaVyadhis’ is also caused due to krimi2. Similarly, Acharya Sushruta has illu-strated the means of spread of ‘Aaupsargi-kaRogas’ (Infectious disease) 3. According to the Dalhana Commentary on Sushruta

“Upasargaja Iti Upasrijyanta Ityupasargah,

Piditajanasamipotpannah Jvaradayah”

( Dalhana Commentary on Su.Su. 24/7 )

That means in the etiology of many diseases, microbial relation plays a role that was realized by the modern medicine only a century ago. But the specific idea of the na-ture of disease producing germs did not de-velop till modern microbiology came into existence. Now, it has become possible to investigate the action of drugs on pathogenic microorganisms. Therefore, to make our treatment scientifically more validated, we assess the antimicrobial activity of such preparations in vitro (i.e. culture and sensi-tivity tests).

Since long, a number of Ayurvedic classical formulations were being used in cases of infections, and they were being found to be effective clinically. But it is a matter of great concern that such a famous formulation “Udayabhaskar Rasa” is not studied in de-tail. The first reference of the formulation was quoted in Rasa Kalpa Lata by Magni-ram5. Total fourteen formulations were men-tioned in Rasa Yoga Sagar6 as Udayab-haskara Rasa, but Udayabhaskara Rasa (8th)7

is found similar to the Udayabhaskara Rasa (1st) of Rasa KalpaLata. Two gunja matra

with suitable anupana has mentioned in the treatment of Jalodara, Gulma and Aaamvatarogas and also in some other diseases8.Similar formulation can be found into Bha-rat Bhaishajya Ratnakara9 as Udayabhaskara Rasa with some modifications. Many of these preparations have not even evulated for their antibacterial properties.3. UdayabhaskarRasa: The use of herbomineral drug in the thera-peutics was found since Samhita period. Health is the supreme foundation of virtue, wealth, enjoyment and salvation. In Ayur-veda, it is described in one of the quadrupies of the treatment next to the physician. When the multiple groups of symptoms present, single drug formulations might cover only a fraction of the treatment. Hence, the com-pound preparations or ‘Yogas’ (combina-tions) came into practice. The Khalveeya Rasayanas are the combina-tion of herbal, mineral and animal products and effective against a number of diseases in a single formula. These are administered in smaller doses to get faster relief and combat-ing many ailments by proper Anupana and

Sahapana. It takes less space for manufac-turing and storing. The most important as-pect is that it preserves the properties of freshly added churnas, swarasa etc. with the help of Moorchhita Parada i.e. Kajjali, Rasa-sindura, Rasakarpura, Rasapushpa and Hin-gula etc. Because of which Khalveeya Ra-saushadhis occupies greater portion in the-rapeutics as compared to other kalpanas such as Vati, Gutika,Taila, Ghrita, Avaleha etc. “Udayabhaskar Rasa” (UBR) is also a com-pound drug which comes under “KhalveeyaRasayana Kalpana.” Most of the KhalveeyaRasayanas come under “Sagandha and Ni-ragni Moorchhana preparations. Udayab-haskar Rasa is one of such preparation. Some of Khalveeya Rasayanas viz. Kapha-ketu Rasa, Bhuvaneshwara Rasa etc. are termed as Rasayoga but are not having any type of Moorchhita Parada prepara-tions.Table 1 shows different ingredients of Udayabhaskar Rasa as described in R.K.L10.

Therapeutic Applications: In the treatment of Aamvata, Jaloda-ra, Gulma etc. at a single dose of two gunja (250 mg).4 Antimicrobial Studies: Five different pathogenic bacteria were procured from Microbial Type of Cul-ture Collection, Institute of Microbial Tech-nology, Chandigarh (Table 4) for evaluatingthe antibacterial properties of different Udayabhaskar Rasa. The cultures were maintained on solid agar plate media and stored at 40C till further use. Well and disc diffusion methods were followed for the

testing the antimicrobial properties of differ-ent samples. 100 µl of well grown bacterial cell were spreaded on the agar plate and a hole of 6 mm diameter was made aseptical-ly. 25 mg of drug was placed in the well (well method) and incubated at 370 C for two days and zone of inhibition was record-ed. In case of disc diffusion assay, different concentration of herbal drug was loaded on sterile disc of whatman paper no 1 (diameter 6 mm) and placed on the agar plate to ob-serve the zone of inhibition at optimal con-ditions.Table 4: Pathogenic bacterial strains.

Results and Discussion: The antibacterial activity of different formulations of Udayabhaskar Rasa were evaluated against all pathogenic bacterial strains and zone of inhibition was calculated

based upon the scales mentioned in Table-512.Table 5: Correlation between zone of in-hibition and sensitivity of drug

The results of in vitro studies (well method) are shown in Table 6 and in theFigures 1 though 5.The study showed that different formulations of Udayabhaskar rasa were found highly sensitive (>12 mm inhibi-tion) against all the pathogenic bacterial strains. It was also observed that preparation U4 has less sensitivity against all the bacteri-al strains when compared to other formula-tions. U2 has highest sensitivity followed by U5.Similar trend was observed in case of disc diffusion method (Figures 6 through 10). Though, in case of disc diffusion me-thod the sensitivity against different patho-gens varied with the concentrations of Udayabhaskar Rasa.S. pyogenes was highly sensitive to all the concentrations of sample U3 and U4. It was also found that the strain is highly sensitive to 75 and 100 mg/ml concentrations of sam-ple U2 and 100 mg/ml concentration of sam-ple U1. The antibacterial activity of U5 sam-

ple is found less as compared to other for-mulations. S. aureus was found less sensitive to all formulations except 75 and 100 mg/ml con-centrations of sample U2 and U5 respective-ly. The E. coli was found moderately sensitive to all the formulations at highest concentra-tion of 100 mg/ml. Pseudomonas aeruginosa was highly sensi-tive to all the concentrations of the sample U5. Formulation U1, U2 and U3respectively are moderate sensitive at higher concentra-tions while, least sensitivity was noted with U4 formulation of U.B.R. The formulation U5 was found moderate sensitive against S. typhi at all the concentra-tions while other formulations showed weak sensitivity even at highest concentrations of drug.Table 6: Sensitivity of different formula-tions against pathogens.

CONCLUSIONSThe antibacterial properties of differ-

ent formulations of Udayabhaskar rasa (UBR) proved the importance of compound drugs in the treatment of a number of dis-eases caused by a number of “krimi’s”. In the treatment of infectious diseases due im-portance should also be given to restoration of Tridosaha-equilibrium i.e. immunity and bala. Comparing the well and disc diffusion method for antimicrobial assay, the former gave maximum inhibition against all patho-gens. In case of disc diffusion method, the formulation U5 was least sensitive against S. pyogenes at all concentrations. S. aureuswas highly resistant against all formulations of Udayabhaskar rasa.
