| Description |
Ethnopharmacological relevance: The aqueous extract of the roots of Aristolochia indica is used as a decoction for the ailment of a number of diseases including snake bite treatment. Though the alcoholic extract of the different parts of the plant are well studied,information on the aqueous extract is limited. We have estimated aristolochic acid,different enzymes,enzyme inhibitors and anti-snake venom potency of its root extract. potency of its root extract . Reverse phase–HPLC was used to quantify aristo lochic acid.Zymography,DQ- gelatin assay and atomic force microscopy were done to demonstrate gelatinase and collagenase activities of the extract.
