Evaluation of Diuretic activity from Tylophora indica leaves extracts
Journal Title: Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences and Research - Year 2009, Vol 1, Issue 3
Abstract
Aqueous and alcoholic extracts of Tylophora indica leaves were tested for diuretic activity in rats. The parameters studied on individual rat were body weight before and after test period, total urine volume, urine concentration of Na+, K- and Cl-. In the present study alcoholic and aqueous extracts of Tylophora indica leaves (100mg/kg of body weight) showed increase in urine volume, cation and anion excretion. Furosemide was used as reference diuretic.
