Neuropharmacological activity of Phyllanthus acidus leaves

The book "Neuropharmacological Activity of Phyllanthus Acidus Leaves" offers a comprehensive examination of the neuropharmacological properties of Phyllanthus acidus leaves. It highlights the oral acute toxicity and effects on the central nervous system, an area that has been scarcely addressed in the existing literature. The authors, Vidya Sabbani and Ramesh Alluri, present the results of their studies, in which the aqueous extracts of the leaves were tested on Swiss albino mice. Doses of 100 mg/kg, 200 mg/kg, and 400 mg/kg body weight were used to assess central nervous system activities. The results indicate significant nociceptive activities, suggesting the potential of this plant for research in the field of neuropharmacology. This specialized book is aimed at scientists, students, and professionals engaged in pharmacology and the therapeutic applications of plants.
