Abstract
Morat is considered as a signicant medicinal plant in the Indian system of medicine [Ayurveda] as it is very effective in various Urinary disorders. Under the name of Morat, botanical identity such as Leea macrophylla Roxb., Saccharum officinarum L., Alangium lamarkii Thw. Marsdenia tenacissima Wight. & Arn., Maerua arenaria Hook, Chonemorpha macrophylla (Roxb) G. Don are considered as they exhibit same medicinal properties. The purpose of this work was to differentiate the plants which are known as Morat by determining and comparing their diuretic activity by Lipschitz method. Two positive control Furosemide (standard drug) & Cystone (herbal plant compound) were compared. The effect on electrolytes changes and urine output were measured. In the result, decoction of all plants has shown diuresis except M. tenacissima. In inter comparison C. macrophylla decoction produced most signicant diuresis & excretion of electrolytes. This suggest that use of C. macrophylla root as “Morat”; most effective diuretic plant.
