Natural products have been a significant source of commercial medicines and bioactive compounds. The ethanolic extracts of spermacocea pusilla and Spermacocea ocymoides were screened for fluorescence analysis. The present study revealed the significance of the plant as a drug. The quality control of herbal drugs is important in justifying their acceptability in the modern system of medicine. The modern system of medicine offers no problem with very well-defined parameters of analysis based on experimental data, toxicity studies, and human clinical studies. It is not uncommon to have as many as five or more different herbal ingredients in one single product. The batch-to-batch variation starts from the collection of the raw materials itself in the absence of any reference standard for identification. These variations multiply during drying, storage, and further processing. Complete pharmacopoeial guidelines of standards on herbal drugs are not available. cGMP for the herbal industry is not well-defined quality control parameters of herbal drugs are maintained or regulated. The lack of quality standards has resulted in serious adverse effects. The pharmaceutical industry has shown interest in the development of standardized plant drugs with proven safety, efficacy, and quality. World Health Organization (WHO) sets specific guidelines for the quality control of medicinal plant products by using modern techniques and by applying suitable standards and parameters. Standardization brings important benefits to business including a solid foundation upon which to develop new technologies and an opportunity to share and enhance existing practices. Standardization also plays an essential role in assisting governments, administrations, regulators, and the legal profession as legislation, regulation, and policy initiatives are all supported by the standardization of herbal drugs (Anonymous, 1998, 2004). Internationally, several pharmacopeias have provided monographs stating the quality parameters and standards of many herbs and their herbal products (Kumar, 2013).
