This document summarizes the monographic analysis of the plant vasaka (Adhatoda vasica) for standardization purposes. It describes the plant's source as the leaves of Adhatoda vasica, and its main phytochemicals as the alkaloids vasicine, vasicol, adhatonine, vasicinone, and vasicinolone. The document also analyzes the plant's morphology, foreign matter content, moisture content, ash content, and vasicine content to standardize its quality and therapeutic uses as a bronchodilator and expectorant.
