ABSTRACT

The possible cathartic property of Cassia roxburghii has been evaluated in this study and comparison was also made with sennosides A and B and senokot in mice. Aqueous solutions were used for all compounds and parameters determined were weight and number of faeces in a given time. The texture and colour of the faeces were also taken into consideration. C. roxburghlii showed a 31% and 300% increase in weight and number of faeces when compared with control, while sennosides A and B and senokot showed a 33% and 106% increase in weight and 380% and 440% increase in number of faeces from control respectively. These studies showed that C. roxburghii possessed a valuable cathartic potential
