Antiurolithiatic Potential of Three Sri Lankan Medicinal Plants by the Inhibition of Nucleation, Growth, and Aggregation of Calcium Oxalate Crystals In Vitro

Figure 6

Percentage of inhibition of different extracts on CaOx crystals aggregation. Each graph shows the dose response effect of each plant extracted in ethanol, hexane, and water against the standard drug, Cystone. No significant difference in inhibition (p > 0.05) was observed between ethanol (at 600 μg/mL), hexane (at 800 μg/mL and 1000 μg/mL), and aqueous (at 200 μg/mL, 400 μg/mL, and 600 μg/mL) extracts of Kalanchoe laciniata, ethanol extract of Aegle marmelos (at 400 μg/mL and 1000 μg/mL) and ethanol (at 400 μg/mL), hexane (at 200 μg/ml), and aqueous (at 200 μg/mL) extracts of Drymoglossum piloselloides compared to Cystone but a significant difference in percentage inhibition (p < 0.05) was observed in all other extracts at the concentrations shown compared to the standard drug.
