    Introduction: Khamira Gawzaban Ambari Jadwar Ood Saleeb Wala (KGAJOS) is a polyherbal compound Unani Pharmacopoeial formulation described in traditional Unani texts as Muqawwi-e-Aza-e-Raeesa (tonic for brain, heart, liver and stomach). KGAJOS is reported to possess anxiolytic and antidepressant activity in mice. Though it is used clinically for various neurological conditions, preclinical efficacy of this formulation in learning and memory enhancement / improvement is not established. Method: KGAJOS was evaluated for cognitive function improvement activity using Morris water maze test in C57BL/6 mice. Piracetam was used as positive control for comparison. Anymaze video tracking software was used for tracking the path of mice in pool as per standard protocol. Results: During probe trial in Morris water maze test, a significant increase in time spent in platform quadrant was observed at 1000 and 1500 mg/kg bw of KGAJOS (p<0.01 and 0.001, respectively) as well as in piracetam group (p<0.01) compared to vehicle control. Latency to reach the platform quadrant (escape latency) was significantly reduced (p<0.001) in piracetam and KGAJOS group at 1000 and 1500 mg/kg bw compared to vehicle control. No change in time spent in platform quadrant and escape latency was observed at 500 mg/kg bw of KGAJOS. Conclusions: Morris water maze experiment conducted in mice revealed improved learning and memory function of KGAJOS at the dose levels of 1000 and 1500 mg/kg bw whereas 500 mg/kg bw was not found to be effective. Observed efficacy of KGAJOS confirmed the traditional claims and usage of this formulation in conditions associated with cognition and memory.Introducci贸n: Khamira Gawzaban Ambari Jadwar Ood Saleeb Wala (KGAJOS) es una formulaci贸n de Unani compuesto de poliherbal descrito como t贸nico para el cerebro, coraz贸n, h铆gado y est贸mago. Este estudio se realiz贸 para evaluar la eficacia precl铆nica de KGAJOS en el aprendizaje y la memoria. M茅todo: Se evalu贸 la actividad de mejora de la funci贸n cognitiva de KGAJOS utilizando la prueba de laberinto de agua de Morris en ratones C57BL / 6. Se utiliz贸 piracetam como control positivo. Se utiliz贸 el software de seguimiento de video Anymaze para rastrear la ruta. Resultados: Durante la prueba de la sonda, se observ贸 un aumento significativo en el tiempo empleado en el cuadrante de la plataforma a 1000 y 1500 mg / kg de peso corporal de KGAJOS (p <0,01 y 0,001, respectivamente) y en el grupo de piracetam (p <0,01) en comparaci贸n con el control. La latencia para alcanzar el cuadrante de la plataforma (latencia de escape) se redujo significativamente (p <0,001) en el grupo de piracetam y KGAJOS a 1000 y 1500 mg / kg de peso corporal en comparaci贸n con el control. Conclusiones: El experimento del laberinto de agua de Morris revel贸 una mejora en la funci贸n de aprendizaje y memoria con 1000 y 1500 mg / kg de peso corporal de KGAJOS, mientras que 500 mg / kg de peso corporal no fue efectivo. La eficacia observada de KGAJOS confirm贸 las afirmaciones tradicionales y el uso de esta formulaci贸n en condiciones asociadas con la cognici贸n y la memoria.Central Council for Research in Unani Medicine, Ministry of AYUSH, Government of Indi

    Comparative toxicity study on classical and modified version of Jawarish Jalinoos (a traditional Unani formulation) in rats

    Background: Jawarish Jalinoos (JJ) is a classical semisolid traditional Unani formulation clinically used for the treatment of weakness of vital organs, liver, and stomach. Although JJ has been widely used clinically for several decades, no scientific report is available for its safety. Methods: JJ and its sugar-free tablet version (SFJJ; formulated to target diabetic population) were assessed for safety in rats. Ninety-day repeated dose oral toxicity study was performed as per the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development Guideline 408. JJ was orally administered at the dose of 2000聽mg/kg bw/d, whereas SFJJ was orally administered at the doses of 506聽mg/kg body weight (bw)/d, 1012聽mg/kg bw/d, and 2024聽mg/kg bw/d for 90 days. The animals were periodically observed for clinical signs of toxicity, mortality, morbidity, body weight changes, and feed consumption. At the end of the study, hematology, clinical biochemistry, electrolytes, gross pathology, relative organ weight, and histological examination were performed. Results: Treatment with SFJJ and JJ showed no significant differences in body weight gain, feed consumption, hematology, clinical biochemistry, and serum electrolytes. No gross pathological findings and differences in relative organ weights were observed between control and drug treated rats. Histological examination revealed no toxicologically significant abnormalities related with SFJJ or JJ treatment. Conclusion: The 90-day repeated dose oral toxicity study demonstrates that the no observed adverse effect level of SFJJ and JJ is greater than 2024聽mg/kg bw/d and 2000聽mg/kg bw/d (p.o.) in rats, respectively. Both formulations were found to be safe up to the tested dose levels and experimental conditions, and therefore safe for clinical use as specified in the literature
