Abstract
The leaf methanolic extract scavenged each gas NO and DPPH radical with a dose dependent manner. However the pet ether fraction of root was found to possess highest effectuality in Fe3+ reducing power assay. Flavonoid was found to contain highest within the pet ether fraction of root in terms of quercetin equivalent, equally highest quantity of total phenolic resin compounds (assayed as acid equivalents) were found to contain within the same fraction. The methanol fractions appeared less cytotoxic compared to pet ether extracts. The plant extracts caused a dose dependent decrease in soiled BM in each cathartic and atomic number 12 sulfate induced looseness of the bowels, wherever as leaf extracts in every solvent appeared only. Also, the plant extracts showed anthelmintic activity in oligochaete worm by causing palsy and death in an exceedingly dose dependent manner. At highest doses all fractions were nearly effective because the positive management helminthic citrate. Conclusion: Thus, besides this cytotoxic effect its traditional claim for therapeutic use can never be overlooked.

P. stratiotes L. (Araceae) may be an unremarkably found aquatic plant organ herb in Asian country
As associate ayurvedic medication pistia L. (Araceae) has long been employed in this landmass, in numerous countries of continent and in China. variety of healthful property has attributed to the current plant, as well as antioxidant [1], investigation has dole out on the premise of its chemical constituents, still thirty two several space of its therapeutic utility or untapped
Within the course of this screening program, medical specialty properties of methanolic and pet ether extracts of each leaf and root were investigated in numerous scientifically established model. Experiments enclosed of this plant extracts were inhibitor activity DPPH radical scavenging assay, Fe3+ particle reducing power [2], gas scavenging assay [3,4,5], total synthetic resin contents [6], total flavonoid contents [7], toxicity assay by branchiopod morbidness assay [8], antidirrhoeal activity [9], and anthelmintic activity [2] anthelmintic [2], and against Hansen\'s disease, eczema, piles, ulcers, and syphilis [3], plenty of pharmacological effects
Summary
P. stratiotes L. (Araceae) may be an unremarkably found aquatic plant organ herb in Asian country. In gas (NO) radical scavenging assay, each methanolic and pet ether fractions of leaf extracts were shown to possess the NO scavenging ability near the reference customary, antioxidant, in an exceedingly dose dependent manner. This invivo scavenging of NO, generated from atomic number 11 nitroprusside to additional forestall peroxynitrite particle formation is anticipated to require place within. The pet ether fractions of each leaf and root extracts were shown to possess higher toxicity within the Artemia salina Assay [22], LC50 values square measure 121.99 and 45.80 μg/mL for leaf and root, severally. Stigmastane, a brand new hormone cytotoxic part is reportable to gift during this plant structure [23]
