Calcium determination is normally done by conventional titrimetric methods (complexometric titration). In this study, a simple, precise, accurate, rapid and sensitive method has been developed for calcium (Ca) determination in Maxcal-C Tablet (herbo-mineral formulation) and its raw materials by Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS). For complete digestion of the sample, closed vessel wet digestion technique was used with 69% HNO3 and 30% H2O2 (7:1) as digestive solvents. Analysis was performed on AAS (AA-6300) at λmax 422.7 nm. Calcium nitrate Ca(NO3)2 was used as a standard for Calcium and the linearity of the standard was excellent over a concentration range of 0.5 to 20 μgmL-1. The regression coefficient (r2) was 0.999. For intraday and interday precision % RSD was obtained between 0.48%-1.95% and 3.48%-5.01%, respectively which complied with the standard range for AAS. Recovery was achieved at 93.24%, 99.73%, 101.75% for 3 levels of spikes (80%, 100%, 120%) respectively, which complied with the standard range 75- 125% for AAS. However, the AAS method produced accurate and reproducible results and also overcame the colour and other ions interference, which are common problems with the titrimetric method. The results of both techniques (the AAS method and the titrimetric method) were compared, which showed good estimation by AAS.Keywords

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is an enlargement of the prostate gland caused by progressive hyperplasia, or abnormal growth of cells of the glandular epithelial and stromal cells. Globally, it has been documented that more than 80% of men by the age of 80 will suffer from BPH. Most men are hesitant to undergo surgical interventions for fear of losing potency and the perception of other adverse side effects. Effectto® is a polyherbal formulation designed by Vasu Research Center to be used for the treatment of BPH. It can also be indicated that it can be used for lower urinary tract symptoms and bladder outlet obstruction. The formulation is expected to provide significant BPH relief. The present study was planned to evaluate the effect of a polyherbal formulation on testosterone- and citral-induced Prostatic Hyperplasia. The activity of the polyherbal formulation for BPH was evaluated using testosterone depot injection as the inducing agent in a testosterone-induced model and citral-induced model for the atypical type of BPH in rats. Also, the acute toxicity study was done using OECD 423 guidelines to check the toxicity of the test compound. Data are expressed as mean ± SD and statistical significance was evaluated using one way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s multiple comparison tests. The polyherbal formulation was found to be safe at oral doses of 2000 mg/kg. Effectto® significantly decreased the weight of the prostate in the testosterone model as well as the citral model in rats. The effect on biochemical markers like serum PSA and TNF-α was also seen in both the cases. In particular serum PSA, the decrease was majorly significant in both the models when XIII compared. The formulation was able to reverse the effect of inducing agents on the prostate’s size.Keywords
