MIRACLE LEAF..
Bryophyllum pinnatum is a plant that originated from Africa but is now found
in most parts of Sri Lanka. Growing to a height of one meter, the plant has a
complex arrangement of leaves. One known fact about Akkapana ( life plant leaf
is that once leaves fall off, new roots emerge from the sides of leaves
thereby allowing the growth of new plants.
Background:
Bryophyllum pinnatum, commonly known as Pattharcaṭṭa, is used traditionally in
ethnomedicinal practices for the treatment of kidney stones and urinary
insufficiency.
Materials and Methods:
Renal calculi were induced in rats by administration of 0.75% EG in drinking
water and co-treated orally with standard drug, Cystone (750 mg/kg), or
alcoholic and hydro-alcoholic extracts in doses of 100, 200, and 400 mg/kg for
28 days. Weekly body weights were recorded. On day 29, urolithiasis was
confirmed by assessing the urinary parameters (urine volume, pH, uric acid,
calcium, phosphorus, oxalate, magnesium, and creatinine clearance), serum
biochemical parameters (creatinine, uric acid, urea, calcium, phosphorus, and
magnesium), oxidative stress parameters and histology of kidney.
Results:
Treatment with extracts attenuated the EG-induced decrease in body weight and
elevation in urinary parameters (uric acid, calcium, phosphorus and oxalate)
and serum biochemical parameters (creatinine, uric acid, urea, calcium,
phosphorus and magnesium). Extract treatment also reversed EG-induced decrease
in urine volume, pH, magnesium and creatinine clearance, oxidative and
histological damages in kidneys. Results were comparable to standard drug,
Cystone. Results indicated that EG administration caused renal calculi
formation which is prevented by treatment with extracts. The observed
antilithiatic effect may be attributed to the presence of high content of
phenolics, flavonoids and saponins in the extracts.
