Screening the In vitro Calcium Oxalate Crystal Inhibition Potential of Abutilon indicum L.: A Common Weed Plant from the Indian Medicine System

Abutilon indicum L. is one of the well-known medicinal plants used in treatment of various metabolic disorders. In the present study, the aqueous extracts of fresh leaves were used for phytochemical analysis and determination of antilithiatic activity in the plant. It was found out that the plant leaves possess In vitro Calcium oxalate crystal inhibition potential i.e antilithiatic activity, which was evaluated and compared with positive control tri-sodium citrate both in various concentration (10mg to 100mg/ml). In proposed work, the antilithiatic activity was screened using slide gel method and agar gel overlay assay method, which was the novel method for qualitative and quantitative estimation of antilithiatic potential.
