The average 
life time risk of stone formation has been reported in the range of 5 -10 %. The conventional dosage forms have a 
number of side effects and their prolonged use leads to toxicity.  The present study was undertaken to evaluate the 
Alcoholic  Bryophyllum pinnatum  (ABP) for its effects on ethylene glycol induced urolithiasis in rats.   In this study 
the  ethanolic  extracts  of  Bryophyllum  pinnatum  was  used  to  study  urolithiatic  activity.    Urolithiatic  activity  was 
assessed  using  ethylene  glycol  induced  urolithiatic  model.  The  data  of  urinary,  renal  and  serum  parameters  were 
expressed as mean Â± SEM. The results were analyzed statistically using ANOVA followed by Dunnettâ€™s t -test. The 
minimum level of significance was fixed at p<0.05. The results shows that ABP (Alcoholic Bryophyllum pinnatum) 
shows antiurolithiatic activity at significant level (p<0.05). The increase in urinary calcium, oxalate and phosphate 
were normalized by Alcoholic Bryophyllum pinnatum  and also increase in serum creatinine and  uric acid as a result 
of  ethylene  glycol  treatment  was  normalized  by  Alcoholic  Bryophyllum  pinnatum.  Thus  we  can  conclude  that 
Alcoholic Bryophyllum pinnatum showed promising antiurolithiatic activity.</Abstract><Email>sarangjain123@rediffmail.com</Email><articletype>Research</articletype><volume>3</volume><issue>2</issue><year>2013</year><keyword>Ethylene glycol,Antiurolithiatic activity,Bryophyllum pinnatum</keyword><AUTHORS>Sarang Jain,Ameeta Argal</AUTHORS><afflication>Research Scholar, Institute of Pharmaceutical Science & Research Center, Bhagwant University, Ajmer, Rajasthan, India-305004,Principal, Rajeev Gandhi College of Pharmacy, Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, India-462042</afflication></Article></Articles>
