Acute toxicity studies of aqueous leaf extract of Phyllanthus niruri

Phyllanthus niruri is a plant with medicinal properties. It is often used to treat mild malaria and the elimination of renal stones. However, studies on its toxicity are scarce. The study was carried out to determine if the aqueous leaf extract of P. niruri administered to female Sprague-Dawley rats would illicit evidence of toxicity. Fifteen female rats weighing 150-200 g were divided into 3 g...

Phytochemical screening and comparative study of bioactives in Phyllanthus niruri L. from different geographical locations

Medicinal plants are resources of new drugs. Phyllanthus niruri L.(Euphorbiaceae) is a widespread tropical herb. The phytochemical screening and quantification of primary metabolites in the plants collected from three geographical locations. Maximum extractive value (3.951%) was found in water extract among test solvents. All metabolites were qualitatively present in water and ethanolic extracts.

Effect of Phyllanthus niruri Linn. treatment on liver, kidney and testes in CCl4 induced hepatotoxic rats.

Phyllanthus niruri extract is extensively used in treating liver ailments. Effects of aqueous extract of P. niruri on liver, kidney and testes of CCl4 induced hepatotoxic rats were studied. High levels of malondialdehyde (MDA) were observed in the CCl4 test group with significant reduction of MDA levels in all groups on P. niruri extract administration. Highest levels of glutathione (GSH) were ...
