3. Herbal medicines are the oldest form of
healthcare known to humanity and has been used in
all cultures throughout history

4. 4
The definitions of terms that will be encountered in the
discussion are given:
Quality : status of a drug that is determined by identity,
purity, content, and other chemical, physical or biological
properties
Safety : to assure the drug didn’t have any hazardous effect
Purity: not contaminated with potentially harmful substances
Potency: is the content of active constituents within the
defined limits?
Identity: is the herb the one it should be?
Quality control : it refers to processes involved in
maintaining the quality and validity of a manufactured
product
Definitions of relevant terms
5. 5
Definition continued…
Herbal preparations
are preparations obtained by scientific treatments such as
extraction, distillation, fractionation, purification, or
fermentation. These include comminuted or powdered herbal
substances, tinctures, extracts, essential oils and processed
exudates
Herbal substances
are precisely defined by the plant part used (leaves,
stems, rhizomes, roots and bark)
Certain exudates that have not been subjected to a
specific treatment are also considered to be herbal substances
Markers
are chemically defined constituents or groups of
constituents of a herbal substance, which are of interest for
control purposes, independent of whether they have any
therapeutic activity
6. Need of quality control
– Quality control and standardization
– Reduce adulterations with substandard drugs
– Improper authentication
– Scientific validation of the therapeutic claims
– Identity, purity, efficacy and safety
– Customer satisfaction and confidence

7. Adulteration with other
medicines
Mistaken use of wrong
species
Incorrect dosing
Poor quality products
Toxicity
Interactions with other
medicines
Problems
Misconception that all
herbs are safe
Misuse of herbal drugs
Safety in quality management

11. World Health Organization
− The World Health Organization (WHO) is a
specialized agency of the United Nations (UN) that is
concerned with international public health
− It was established on 7 April 1948, with its headquarters
in Geneva, Switzerland
− WHO is a member of the United Nations Development
Group (UNDP)
− World Health Organization, provides guidelines for
prevention, control, safety, efficacy as well as
evaluation and standardisation of herbal materials (e.g.
WHO, 2005, 2002a,b, 1999a,b, 1998a,b, 1996a,b, 1990,
1981, 1979)
11
13. Guidelines provided by WHO for herbals
A set of guideline for the assessment of
herbal remedies has been published by
WHO. These guidelines specify criteria to
be used in evaluating commercial crude
drugs intended for use (WHO Traditional
Medicine Strategy 2002-2005).
WHO guidelines on safety monitoring of
herbal medicines in pharmacovigilance
systems (2004).
14. Quality control methods for medicinal
plant materials (1998).
WHO Guidelines on good
manufacturing Practices (GMP) for
Herbal Medicines (2005).
Guidelines continued…
16. WHO Guidelines For Assessing
Quality of Herbal Medicine With
Reference to Contaminants and
Residues (2007).
Basic tests for drugs – Pharmaceutical
substances, Medicinal plants materials
and dosage forms (1998).
Guidelines continued…
17. General Guidelines for
Methodologies on Research and
Evaluation of Traditional Medicine
(2000).
WHO Guidelines on GACP for
Medicinal Plants (2003).
Guidelines continued…
18. Research Guidelines for Evaluating the
Safety and Efficacy of Herbal
Medicines (1993).

Medicines - A Worldwide Review
(1998).

19. Standardization of herbal drugs crude plant
parts/plant material
Definition:
− name of plant
− part of plant
− Nature/condition of material: whole, powdered, fresh, dried, etc
Authentication/confirmation of:
− Correct geographical origin
− Correct stage of growth
Absence of foreign matter:
− other plant parts or materials
− soil, stones, dust
− insects and other animal matter (as determined by microscopy, macroscopy, chromatography)
Microscopic characteristics confirming identity:
− qualitative features
− quantitative features, (e.g. stomatal number)
Radioactive contamination limits: arising from environmental pollution or microbial
decontamination procedures
Assay: for materials containing constituents of known therapeutic activity, or known unique (marker)
compounds. Non-specific assay methods for groups of compounds may be used where specific
assay methods are not available for single compounds
19
20. Processed plant materials/non-plant materials (extracts,
tinctures, comminutions etc.)
Definition: liquid, solid, etc
Organoleptic characteristics:
− Macroscopy
− Smell
− Taste
− Texture
− Colour
Chromatographic profile using more than one method:
− to confirm presence of unique compounds (markers)
− to confirm characteristic TLC chromatogram
− to confirm characteristic HPTLC chromatogram (TLC + densitometry = HPTLC)
Water content (for hygroscopic materials):
Ash values: indicate extent of contamination with inorganic material. Determined by
incineration. Values include acid insoluble and sulphated ash
Volatile matter: for plants containing volatile oils:
− Determined by steam
− Distillation
Powdered material: test method and acceptable limits for particle size, distribution
20
21. continued...
If the product is a mix of plant materials, the supplier must provide evidence that
each
component plant has been individually tested.
Heavy metal limits: from environmental pollution and pesticides
Microbial contamination limits: microbial contamination arises from cultivation,
harvesting, processing and storage:
− confirmation of absence of E. coli, S. aureus, P. aeruginosa and
− Salmonella
− limits for aflatoxins (fungal toxins)
Residual solvents from processing
Pesticide residue limits: arising from cultivation (FAO and WHO limits)
Extractive values: extraction by different solvents indicates proportion of polar and
non-polar components
Assay: for materials containing constituents of known therapeutic activity, or known
unique (marker) compounds;
− Non-specific assay methods for groups of compounds may be used where
specific assay methods are not available for single compounds
21
23. Analytical procedures
Botanical parameters:
– Sensory evaluation: including visual macroscopy/
touch/odour/taste
– Foreign matter: including foreign plants, foreign
animals, foreign minerals, etc.
– Microscopy: including histological observation and
measurements

− Ash values: Total, acid insoluble, water soluble
− Extractive values: in hot water, cold water and ethanol,
− Volatile matter: Loss on drying,
− Volatile oils: by steam distillation.
− Determination of crude fibers,
− Determination of moisture content.
24
25. continued…
Biological parameters:
− Bitterness value: unit equivalent bitterness of standard
solution of Quinine HCI
− Hemolytic property: on ox blood by comparison with
standard reference solution of saponin
− Astringent property: tannins that bind to standard
Frieberg Hide powder
