✦ Synopsis

The antidiarrhoeal potential of a methanol extract of the aerial parts of Jussiaea suffruticosa Linn. (MEJS) was studied with several experimental models of diarrhoea in rats. MEJS treated rats showed significant inhibitory activity against castor oil induced diarrhoea and PGE 2 induced enteropooling. It also showed a significant reduction in gastrointestinal motility following a charcoal meal in rats. The extract exhibited significant antidiarrhoeal potential at doses of 100,200 and 300 mg/kg in all the animal models and thus established the efficacy of MEJS as a potent antidiarrhoeal agent.

The inhibitory action of Hamelia patens methanol extract was studied in vitro on uterus, ileum and duodenum, and the antidiarrhoeal activity was evaluated in vivo on mice and rats. It was found that for the uterus and intestine the inhibitory response was dose dependent and the major antidiarrhoeal
