Abstract

The phytochemica examination of the ethyl acetate extract of the roots of P h y 11 a n t h u s n i r u r i resulted in the isolation and identification of

Effects of the hydroalcoholic extract of Phyllanthus niruri and its isolated compounds on cyclophosphamide-induced hemorrhagic cystitis in mouse

“…Research groups in India were the first to investigate the pharmacological properties of P. niruri (Chauhan et al 1977;Thyagarajan et al 1982;Venkateswaran et al 1987). P. niruri gained worldwide attention in the late 1980s due to its activity against hepatitis B virus (Venkateswaran et al 1987).…”

Phytochemicals fromPhyllanthus niruriLinn. and their pharmacological properties: a review

“…Rutin Rutin (Figure 1), a flavonol glycoside comprised of the flavonol quercetin and the disaccharide rutinose, belongs to a large group of phenolic secondary metabolites of plants that includes more than 2000 different known chemicals (Chauhan et al 1977). Rutin is important because it strengthens capillaries and so is able to help people suffering from arteriosclerosis or high blood pressure (Becker et al 1985).…”

Inhibitory Effects of Methyl Brevifolincarboxylate Isolated from Phyllanthus niruri L. on Platelet Aggregation

“…4) Previous studies have revealed bioactivities such as antiplasmodial and antimalarial, 5,6) urolithiasis, 7) antiinflammatory, 8) and antihepatitis effects. 9) Chemical constituents such as tannins, 9,10) lignans, 11) polysaccharides, 12) alkaloid, 13) and flavonoids 14) were previously isolated.…”
