Antidiarrhoeal activity of the methanol extract of the barks of Xylocarpus moluccensis in castor oil- and magnesium sulphate-induced diarrhoea models in mice

Antinociceptive, antidiarrheal, and neuropharmacological activities ofBarringtonia acutangula

“…Magnesium sulphate causes increased loss of intestinal content due to the reduction in reabsorption of water and cholecystokinin release from the duodenal mucosa. These increase the secretion and motility of small intestine, prevent the reabsorption of sodium chloride and water, and induce diarrhea (Gálvez et al, 1993;Uddin et al, 2005). In this study, the extracts showed a dose-dependent reduction in fecal droppings in both castor oil-and magnesium sulphate-induced diarrhea (Table 2).…”

“…after 30 min of the administration of the vehicle, drug or extracts. After observing the diarrheal droppings for the next 4 h, the percent (%) inhibition of defecation was calculated (Uddin et al, 2005).…”
