ABSTRACT

Urolithiasis is a term used to refer calculi or stones formed in urinary tract. It includes the development of calcifications in the urinary system, generally in the kidneys or ureters, but may also affect the bladder or urethra. It is a severe, devastating problem in all societies all over the world, affecting almost, 12% of the population and men are three times more prone than women. It is more predominant between the ages of 20 and 40 in both sexes. The present study was undertaken to evaluate the in vitro antiurolithiatic activity of the medicinal plant Meyna laxiflora and Tectona grandis. Alcoholic extracts of both the plants showed their maximum efficiencies in the dissolution of calcium oxalate crystals. Our results have clearly indicated that the alcoholic extracts of Meyna laxiflora and Tectona grandiswere quite promising for further studies in this regard. Keywords: Meyna laxiflora, Tectona grandis, Alcoholic extracts, Cystone, Calcium oxalate
