6. BRIEF RESUME OF THE INTENDED WORK:

6.1 NEED FOR THE STUDY

Drugs mentioned in Ayurveda treatises are provided with a few exomorphological characters or therapeutics for the plants known at that time.However with the progress & development of botanical science,several hundreds of new/unknown plants were discovered & added to Materiamedica. The characters & properties described in literature became overlapping & impracticable for many plants. This lacuna coupled with drawbacks created much confusion in the proper identification of drugs mentioned in Ayurveda.Oneof the difficult problems encountered today is the use of several species under same name, these species are claimed to posses similar therapeutic efficacy.Suchdrugs are today named as ‘SandigdhaDravyas (Controversial drugs).

Pashanabheda is an important Ayurvedic drug used in Indian system of medicine. The different parts of plants either used singly or in combination as frontline therapeutic agents for pathologies, where urine flow is obstructed partially (Mutrakricchra) or completely (Mutraghata)as mentioned in Caraka Samita1,Sushruta Samita2, Astanga Hridaya.3It has properties likeMootrala, Ashmaribhedanaused to treat Dysuria, Cough, Cardiac diseases etc assaid in Bhavaprakasha Nighantu.4

The drugs listed in Brihatrayee, in spite of its manifold uses the drug remains Controversial because of several plants are used & sold under the name of Pashanabheda in different parts of Country.5

The drugs which helps in easy & proper excretion of urine are MootraVirecaniya in classics.6,7That which promotes the production of urine is Mootrala.8AcharyaYadavjiTrikamjiAcharya has clearly equated MootralaMutravirechanambased on evidence in classics. Mutravirechanam or Mootrala karma can be equated with pharmacological activity of Diuresis in contemporary medical science.9

The substance that increases the rate of urine volume output are said to beDiuretics.10These drugs generally used in the treatment of Oedema, Hypertension and Congestive Heart Failure (CHF), Nephritis, Toxemia and other UTI disorders. The reestablishment of certain herbal drugs, with a marked Diuretic effect without threatening complications will present an opportunity for the physicians to help patients to minimize their reliance upon more dangerous NSAIDs and other synthetic Diuretic drugs.

In this context the drug pashanabheda, described as Mootrala in BhavaprakashaNighantu may satisfy the need of the day.4Many plants are being used as Pashanabheda, botanically more than ten sources are used as Pashanabheda. However the API & DATABASE ON MEDICINAL PLANTS describedBerginiaciliataas the official botanical source plant.11,12 As per Ayurvedic formulary part 1 published by Govt. of India; Bergeniaciliata is accepted as genuine pashanabedha.11HoweverAervalanata(Linn) Juss. Ex. SchultBryophyllumpinnatum (lam) okenare used by traditional Vaidya’s in South & North Indian respectively.13 And Aervalanata(Linn) Juss. Ex. Schultis considered as substitute forBerginia ligulata5 which is not available and Bryophyllumpinnatum (lam) oken.is available everywhere & easily.Hence With this perspective, the work will be carried out critically to assess the comparative mootrala effect of two sources used as Pashanabheda(Aervalanata.(Linn) Juss. Ex. SchultBryophyllumpinnatum (lam) oken).

6.2 REVIEW OF LITERATURE

Diuresis is a therapeutic modality to treat Edematous conditions like Congestive Heart Failure, Hypertension, Pregnancy Toxemia, Ascites, Nephritic syndrome and some conditions of acute or chronic renal failure in conventional medical science.14

Diuretics bring about physiological alterations like Electrolyte disequilibrium, Metabolic alkalosis, Acidosis and Hyperuricemia, leading to acute medical emergencies like Hypotension, Stroke, Arrhythmia, Seizures, Coma and Chronic conditions like Gout, Tissue calcification, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Depression, Pancreatitis and Breast cancer.15It is also used in the treatment of Pulmonary Congestion & play vital role in Pregnancy and Premenstrual tension. Presently in the market synthetic diuretics are available which are having significant side effects. These synthetic Diuretics significantly inhibit K+ secretion and leads to K+ retention.16Anatural source serves as an additional source for the development of new diuretic agents because of their biological activity. Several plant sources used as diuretics in different systems of traditional medicine likeAyurveda.

Among the Brihatrayees, Charaka has mentioned Pasanabheda in MootraVirecaniyamahakashaya in sutra sthana.7Bhavaprakasha Nighantu4 & Madanapala17, Raja18Priya19Nighantu describeits properties i,eKashayaTiktaRasa,Laghu,SnigdhaTikshnaGuna,KatuVipaka,Mootrala,BasthiShodaka, Ashmaribhedakaindicated in diseases like Asmari, Mootrakricchra, Vrana, Mootravikara, Tamakashwasaetc& same supported by P.V.Sharma.5 In the medieval period, many sources were identified for a single drug by scholars and they claimed good therapeutic activity.

Many plants are being used as Pashanabheda, Botanically more than ten sources are used as Pashanabheda. They are: 1.Bergenialigulata. (Saxifragraceae), 2.Coleus aromaticus.(Lamiaceae), 3.Bryophyllumpinnatum.(Crassulaceae), 4.Aervalanata.(Amaranthaceae), 5.Aervajavanica.(Amaranthaceae) 6.Ammaniabacifera.(Lythraceae) 7.Rotulaaquatica.(Boraginaceae), 8.Brideliamontana.(Euphorbiaceae), 9.Homania riporia Lour. (Euphorbiaceae), 10.Ocimumbasillicum. (Labiate).13,20

Different sources are used for these plants which lead to controversy and created confusion among AyurvedicVaidyas.Hence in order to clear controversies aComparative Mootrala effect of Pashanabheda with two sources are taken up. Two sources of pashanabheda in the study are:

  1. Botanical Name:Aervalanata(Linn) Juss. Ex. Schult.

Family: Amaranthaceae

Chemical composition: Flavonoids, Alkaloids, Steroids, Polysaccharides, Tannin,

Saponins.21

  1. Botanical Name:Bryophyllumpinnatum(lam) oken.

Family: Crassulaceae

Chemical constituents:Bryophyllol, Bryophollenone, Bryophynol & two homologous

Phenanthrenederivaties, 2(9-decenyl)-Phenanthrene (1) &

2(undecenyl)-Phenanthrene (2).22
