Malvastrum coromandelianum (L.) Garcke, commonly known as false mallow, belongs to the family Malvaceae and has been recognized for its ethnomedicinal significance. Ethnobotanical surveys have highlighted its use in treating various ailments, while pharmacological investigations have demonstrated its antinociceptive, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antibacterial properties. Despite its therapeutic potential, the lack of established standardization parameters for the herbal raw material of M. coromandelianum poses a significant challenge to ensuring its purity, quality, and consistency. Addressing this gap is critical for its effective use in traditional and modern medicine. The present study focuses on developing comprehensive standardization parameters for M. coromandelianum, including macroscopic, microscopic, phytochemical, and physicochemical evaluations. Establishing these standards will contribute to the scientific validation of this plant and facilitate its inclusion in pharmacopoeia monographs, thereby enhancing its applicability in the pharmaceutical and healthcare sectors.
