Abstract
The aqueous extract of the aerial parts of Lippia integrifolia has been assayed for its choleretic and antispasmodic effects. Doses of 250, 500 and 750 mg/kg administered orally in rats significantly increased the bile flow and the bile acid output. The extract also showed a significant reduction of the contractions induced by acetylcholine, CaCl2 and KCl on isolated rat jejunum. The total caffeoyl quinic acids derivatives content, expressed as chlorogenic acid was 0.10% w/v by spectrophotometric determination.
