    Stylosanthes fruticos, a perennial plant has been revered in ayurveda medicine for generations. The aim of the present study was to determine the antidiarrheal activity of ethanolic extract of S. fruticos (EESF), utilizing castor oil-induced, magnesium sulphate induced diarrhoea and castor oil-induced enteropooling in mice. The presence of alkaloids, carbohydrates, flavonoids,  steroids,  and  phenols  was  discovered by phytochemical screening of EESF. At 25 mg/kg of dosage, the EESF provided considerable significant (p<0.05) inhibition on castor oil-induced diarrhea, magnesium sulphate  induced  diarrhea  and  castor oil induced enteropooling. From the findings, it was evident that EESF had dose-dependent antidiarrheal effects in all treatment groups, and the results were also well comparable with loperamide (3 mg/kg).. Read More»
