Antidiarrhoeal activity of seed extract of Albizzia lebbeck Benth.

Abstract: The antidiarrhoeal activity of the seed extract of Albizzia lebbeck (Benth.) was investigated employing conventional rodent models of diarrhoea, i.e. castor oil-induced diarrhoea, upper gastrointestinal transit (u.g.t.) and fluid secretion. It was found that the aqueous methanol extract of Albizzia lebbeck seeds (2.5-5 mg/kg i.p.) possessed antidiarrhoeal activity which strengthens the earlier use of the seeds in the treatment of diarrhoea and dysentery. The antidiarrhoeal dose of the extract was at least 10-3… Show more

“…4 Anti-diarrheal and anti-helminthic properties of leaves extract of Dalbergiastipulacearoxb because of the active principle, retinoic acid. The active principle of castor oil is known to change the electrolyte permeability of the intestinal membrane and through elevated prostaglandin biosynthesis and release it causes diarrhea similar to pathophysiologic conditions that cause diarrhea (Besra et al, 2002;Brijesh et al, 2009). Because of this, castor oil was used to induce diarrhea in the experimental animals of this study.…”

“…They promote a higher metabolic and immune status within the animal, as well as enhancing welfare. Various botanical ingredients have been shown to facilitate beneficial effects on gut environment and microflora (Besra et al, 2002;Rao and Nigam, 1970 Cosentino et al, 1999). To be effective on a practical scale, it is likely that these compounds will need to be provided in more concentrated form than they are found in their natural source.…”
