Abstract

The Unani Drug, “Majoon Dabeedulward” is prescribed for digestive and liver ailments. The drug was bought from a Unani medicine supplier and was processed suitably for gas chromatography mass spectroscopic analysis. The profile showed metabolites, namely, Propanoic acid, 2,2-dimethyl-, 2-ethylhexyl ester, trans-2-methyl-4-n-pentylthiane, S,S-dioxide, Eugenol, alpha-Santalol, Benzoic acid, 3-hydroxy- etc. which have a wise ranges of medicinal properties.

Introduction

Majoon Dabeedulward is one herbal Unani medicine used to treat digestive and liver ailments. The main ingredients are mentioned below:

Izkhar Makki (Cymbopogon jwarancusa), Agar Hindi (Aquliaria agallocha), Balchhar (Nardosachys jatamansi), Banslochan (Bambusa arundinacea Retz.), Tukhm Kansi (Cichorium intybus), Tukhm Kassos (Cuscuta reflexa), Tukhm karafs (Apium graveolens) and Taj Qalmi (Cinnamomum cassia).

Very few reports are available on the scientific work for this medicine. Shakya et al. have evaluated the hepato-protective role of this drug [1]. Khan and Khan have reported the effects of this drug on fibroids [2]. Bozorgi, 2017 have reported the antioxidant role of this drug [3]. The description of this medicine finds its reference in Pharmacopoea Commission of Indian Medicines and Homoepathy, 2004 [4]. The present workers have worked to scientifically evaluate the veracity of these medicine systems by latest techniques so that deeper knowledge of the mechanism of action of these medicines could be gained [5-23]. The present study in one step further in this endeavour.

Materials and Methods

Majoon Dabeedulwardwas bought from a Unani medicine vendor in Chennai. The medicine was suitably processed by standard procedures and the GC-MS analysis was performed.

Results

The gas chromatography mass spectroscopic profile of Majoon Dabeedulward and possible medicinal role of each metabolite is tabulated in Table 1.

Table 1: Indicates the retentions values, types of possible compound, their molecular formulae, molecular mass, peak area and their medicinal roles of each compound as shown in the GC MS profile of Majoon Dabeedulward.

Figure 1 shows the gas chromatography mass spectroscopic profile the Unani medicine Majoon Dabeedulward. The identification of metabolites was done by comaoring with NIST spectral library and the possible pharmaceutical roles of each bio molecule as per National Agriculture Library, USA and others as shown in Table 1 [24].

Discussion

The Gas chromatography mass spectroscopic of Majoon Dabeedulward showed compounds namely, Propanoic acid, 2,2-dimethyl-, 2-ethylhexyl ester, trans-2-methyl-4-n-pentylthiane, S,S-dioxide, Eugenol, alpha-Santalol, Benzoic acid, 3-hydroxy- etc. which have a wide ranges of medicinal properties. These molecules contribute to the medicinal role of Majoon Dabeedulward.

Conclusion

It could be summarized from the results and discussion that Khushta Hajrul Yahood does contain important biomolecules which provides a clue to its prescription for the urolithiatic role of this medicine. It will be of interest to probe into the medicinal roles of many compound present in Khushta Hajrul Yahood for which the medicinal roles are not reported yet.
