ABSTRACT

India has a rich tradition of plant based knowledge in health care. Among the large number of herbal drugs existing in India, very few have been studied systematically so far. Lantana camara is an evergreen plant found throughout India. Traditionally it has been used in treating various ailments and they were supported by scientific data’s. Various literatures have reported the phytoconstituents present in all parts of Lantana camara This study was conducted to determine the effect of Lantana camara extracts on urinary risk factors in normal subjects and urolithic patients. Modern treatment investigation for kidney stones are wrought with side effect, hence the need for alternative therapies such as plant based medicines. We have to documented through in vitro biological evaluation of plant Lantana camara (Zygophyllaceae family) possesses urolithiatic. To prepare experimental kidney stones(calcium oxalate stones) by homogenious precipitation then preparation of semi-permeable membrane from farm egg, then to estimation of calcium oxalate by titrimetry.

Keywords: Lantana camara, Collection, Extraction, Phytochemical screening, Evaluation of anti – Urolithiatic activity.
