چکیده
Methods The ethyl acetate extract of Pedalium murex L., (250, 500, and 1000 mg/kg body weight) was administered orally to three groups of rats (five animals per group) in order to evaluate the activity of the extract against castor oil-induced diarrhea model in rat. Two other groups received normal saline (5mg/kg) and loperamide (5mg/kg) as positive control. The effect of the extract on intestinal transit and castor oil-induced intestinal fluid accumulation (enteropooling) was assessed.

In the present study, stigmasterol has been reported from Pedalium murex L. of pedaliaceae family in vivo and in vitro. Quantification data revealed that the total sterol content was higher in callus than leaves. The in vitro studies showed that the maxmium amount of total sterol was found in 6 weeks old tissue and minimum in 2 weeks old callus culture. In vivo studies showed that higher conten...
