✦ Synopsis

A pharmacological evaluation for diuretic activity of the ethanol extract of Alternanthera pungens was carried out. Urinary excretion of water, pH, density and sodium concentration were investigated in isotonic saline loaded rats. The extract showed an effective diuretic activity, in comparison with furosemide, increasing significantly the renal loss of sodium. These results indicate that this plant has a diuretic behaviour similar to furosemide, a highceiling diuretic agent
