Abstract:
Background: Gishuun-6, Sugmel-7, Shijid-6, Lishi-6, Harutsa-
5, Sorool-4, Sugmel-3 and Zandan-3 are used for treatment
of gastric ailments, urological disorders and grippe. Various
medicinal plants such as Amomum Kravanh pire ex Gagnep,
Terminalia chebula, Zingiber officinale /Willd/ Rosc, Rheum
undulatum L./, Polygonium bistorta L, Eugenia caryohyllata
Trunb, and Choerospondia axillaris (Roxb) are contained in
these drugs. Biologically active substances including alkaloid,
flavonoid, saponin, organic acids and vitamins have been
determined.
Phenolic compounds are believed to reduce low-density
lipoprotein and have some favorable effects on heart
diseases and cancer.
Objectives: Phenol contents in above mentioned traditional
drugs and microbial growth within the drugs were
determined.
Methods: Extraction of compounds were performed by using
high polarity organic absorbents and analyzed by thin layer
chromatography. Total content of phenol compounds was
determined by Folin-Ciocalteu method. Bacterial and fungus
contamination was examined in accordance with MNS 5193,
5194, 5188, 5189, 5190: 2002 standards.
Results and conclusions: Phenolic compounds were
determined in all drugs. Bacterial contamination of the drugs
was within the range of approved level.
