Antiinflammatory, diuretic and antimicrobial activities of <i> Rungia pectinata</i> linn. and <i> Rungia repens</i> nees

Abstract: The hydroalcoholic extracts prepared from leaves of Rungia pectinata and Rungia repens were investigated for antiinflammatory and diuretic activity in wistar rats. The results obtained were compared with that of standard drug aspirin and frusemide for their antiinflammatory and diuretic activity respectively. The acute toxicity study was also carried out using adult swiss albino mice of either sex which indicates the safety of the extracts even at a dose of 4000 mg/kg. R. pectinata showed better anti-inflammat… Show more

“…Routine urinalysis including determination of pH and specific gravity along with presence of occult blood, bilirubin, urobilinogen, ketone bodies, proteins, nitrite, glucose, and leucocytes in urine was carried out using urocolor test strips (Standard Diagnostics Inc., South Korea) for urine samples of control and extract treated rats. Urine volume (ml/100 g) and Na + , K + and Cl - concentrations (mEq/l/100 g) in the urine were determined[ 15 ] and various indices for diuretic action were calculated. [ 14 16 17 ]…”
