“…In previous studies, caffeic acid 71 , catechin 72 , curcumin, rutin 73 , diosmin 74 , quercetin 75,76 , and resveratrol 77 prevented ethylene glycol-induced calcium oxalate crystallisation in rats, but the mechanistic insights underlying these effects were barely explained. The anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, ACE-inhibitory, and diuretic activities of polyphenols (flavonoids) contribute to calcium oxalate calculi prevention 78 .…”

A common condition that puts a huge financial and morbidity burden is kidney stones. Throughout the past 20 years, the frequency of urolithiasis has increased; 5 to 15 % of people globally are affected. Calcium oxalate (CaOx) kidney stones, which form in the renal surfaces, are the most prevalent variety. Several physicochemical processes of urinary stone constituents within tubular cells lead to the complex process of stone generation. Obese people are known to be at an increased risk of developing stones. Nephrolithiasis in women is becoming more common because of metabolic syndrome. Recent years have seen a significant change in the detection and initial treatment of urolithiasis. Calcium oxalate renal stones are the most typical type of stone proclaimed in India. Since medicinal herbs are safer, more efficient, more acceptable culturally, and have fewer side effects than produced pharmaceuticals, they have been used for treatment for millennia. Patients are recommended to follow a low-fat diet and take herbal remedies in addition to fibre from naturally occurring plants. Flavonoids are a type of plant polyphenol that has been linked to several health benefits. Recent research has revealed that plant flavonoids can significantly reduce the formation of kidney stones in vitro and in vivo, which correlates with their anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, diuretic, antibacterial, and other beneficial actions. Thus, the flavonoids or extracts of flavonoid-rich plants associated with anti-urolithiasis activity were evaluated. This article emphasises the use of flavonoid-containing plants or herbs and synthetic medications to cure kidney stones. The epidemiology, mechanism of action, pathophysiology, synthetic and natural treatments for kidney stone development, and ways to reduce stone risks are all covered in this review article.

“…Neutron activation was used for elemental characterization of medicinal plants of Romania [15]. The concentrations of macro, micro elements, phytochemicals and amino acids of medicinal plants of particular areas were determined by various scientists [16][17][18]. So keeping in view the importance of trace elements and phytochemical in medicinal plants the following study was designed.…”

The aim of the present study was to determine the nutritional, phytochemical and trace element contents in fourteen medicinal plants used in Lahore (Pakistan) to cure a wide range of ailments. Microwave acid digestion method and flame atomic absorption spectrometry has been used to estimate the levels of four essential trace elements (iron, chromium, nickel and zinc) while muffle furnace and Kjeldahl methods were used for nutritional and phytochemical characteristics (ash, moisture, carbohydrate, crude protein, crude fats, alkaloid, flavonoid and saponin). The levels of trace elements in studied plants has shown a trend as Fe>Zn>Cr>Ni. The ash and moisture content were found to be highest in Bambusa arundinaceae (29.0 ± 0.03%) and Adiantum capillus (9.03 ± 0.41%) respectively, whereas the highest levels of carbohydrate, crude protein and crude fat were observed in Punica granatum (82.08±0.59%), Pistacia lentiscus (8.35 ± 0.01%) and Pongamia pinnata (2.73 ± 0.06%). In case of alkaloids, flavonoid and saponin the highest values were found in Abroma agusta (0.77 ± 0.01 %), Quereus infectoria (0.78 ± 0.02%) and Tinospora cordifolia (2.48 ± 0.02%) respectively followed by other plants. The present study provides baseline data on levels of essential trace elements, nutritional and phytochemical contents in medicinal plants commonly used for treating different ailments.
