the diuretic activity of methanol extract of oxystelma esculentum aerial parts (meoe) was studied in male wister albino rats at 5h and 24h interval. the animals were divided into 5 groups: control, urea, furosemide and 200mg/kg and 400mg/kg meoe. the extract was administered intraperitoneally (i.p) pretreated and all animals were saline meoe. the urine volume (in ml) and electrolytes excretion ...

     Colocasia esculenta Linn (CE) is traditionally used for the treatment of various ailments such as high blood pressure, rheumatic pain, pulmonary congestion, etc. Hence in present study, the effect of aqueous extract of CE leaves (AECE) was evaluated for antihypertensive and acute diuretic activity in rats. Preliminary phytochemical evaluation revealed the presence of carbohydrate, saponins...

The present study was undertaken to investigate the diuretic activity and acute toxicity profile of the crude aqueous extract and solvent fraction of the leaves of Thymus serrulatus in saline-loaded Swiss albino mice. Mice of either sex were divided into six groups (five animals in each group). The control group received normal saline (25 mL/kg), while the reference group received hydrochloroth...

Ipomoea reniformis Roxb. (Convolvulaceae) is a small, weedy herb used for the management of cardiac problems in traditional systems of medicine in India and Pakistan. Objective of the present study is to investigate the hypotensive, diuretic and angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activities of the aqueous-methanol (30:70) crude extract of the dried aerial parts of I. reniformis (Ir....

To study the diuretic effects of cleistanthin A and cleistanthin B, phytoconstituents were isolated from the leaves of Cleistanthus collinus in Wistar rats. The in vivo diuretic effects of cleistanthins A and B were determined according to the Lipschitz test. Prior to the experiment, the animals were fasted for 5 h and placed individually in metabolic cages. Cleistanthins A and B (12.5, 25, and...

The present investigation was aimed at investigating the diuretic activity of Bixa orellana Linn. leaves. The dried leaf powder was subjected to successive Soxhlet extraction with petroleum ether, chloroform, ethyl acetate, methanol and water. Among these, petroleum ether, methanolic and aqueous extracts were investigated for diuretic activity in Wistar rats using standard methods. The diuretic...

ABSTRACT The present study was undertaken to investigate the diuretic activity of Rumex vesicariys.Linn and its formulation in experimental rats. The preliminary phytochemical investigation was carried out to identify the various chemical constituents present in the alcoholic extract. It was found that the Rumex vesicarius contain carbohydrate, glycosides, saponin, steroids, and flavonoids and ...
