Abstract

The present work is targeted to evaluate nutritive phytochemicals, mineral elements, antinutrients, and invitro litholytic property of leaf and stem pod of Basella rubra (B. rubra) belonging to family Basilaceae by weight reduction assay. The study's findings show that the extractsof both the plant parts possess considerable invitro litholytic activity. The higher amount of phytochemicals, mineral elements, and lower amount of antinutrients may correspond to their greater litholytic activity.
