Phytochemical and Diuretic Activity of Barleria Strigosa Leaves
Abstract
The present study was carried out to evaluate the diuretic effect of Barleria prionitis Linn. flower extract in rats. Diuretic and Natriuretic activities were carried out by administration of normal saline along with the treatment modules. The volume of urine (in ml) and the Na+ and K+ content in the urine were measured. The extract at 100 and 200 mg / kg, produced significant diuresis and increased sodium elimination but not potassium. Thus the study elucidates that aqueous extract of Barleria prionitis posess significant diuretic and Natriuretic effect but not a potassium sparing effect.
