IN VITRO EVALUATION OF LEAVES OF FICUS PALMATA ON CALCIUM PHOSPHATE CRYSTALLIZATION
Vandita Namola, Kshitij Agarwal*, Prem Saini
Abstract
In the present study the plant Ficus palmata was selected to evaluate
anticalcinogenic potential. The aqueous extract of Ficus palmata
showed dose dependant anticalcinogenic action in demineralization of
Calcium Phosphate. Aqueous extract is more potent than methanolic
extract at the tested concentrations. However, to establish Ficus
palmata as an anticalcinogenic drug studies with other methods of
evaluation of Urolithiatic action needs to be undertaken.
