STABILITY AND TOXICITY STUDIES FOR THE HERBAL DRUGS CAT'S CLAW AND DEVIL'S CLAW

Abstract

The main objective of this study is to conduct a full analytical profile for Cat's claw and Devil's claw, two herbal medications containing Isomitraphylline and Harpagoside respectively. The study included the long term stability of the capsules and standards, development and validation of stability indicating HPLC methods for analysis of both drugs and studying of their kinetics. The study also included determination of elements present, studying the microbiological stability for both drugs and running toxicity studies in mice
