Abstract

Abstract

Ocimum kilimandscharicum is a short herb, native to India. In traditional medicine, it is used to treat various ailments including colds, coughs, abdominal pains, measles and diarrhea. Medicative plants, the “back bone” of ancient medication which implies over 3.3 billion folks within the less developed countries utilize medicative plants on an everyday basis. Ocimum kilimandscharicum Guerke (Syn. Ocimum camphora Guerke) belongs to family Lamiaceae. It is a native of Kenya and distributed in East Africa, India, Thailand, Uganda and Tanzania. It is extensively grown in the Tropics. In India it is cultivated on a small scale, especially in West Bengal, Assam, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Kerala and Dehradun. The present study is aimed to evaluate in vitro  diuretic activities . The results finally concluded that the ethanolic extract of Ocimum kilimandscharicum possesses diuretic activities. These activities may be due to the strong occurrence of polyphenolic compounds such as flavonoids, tannins, steroids, and phenols. EEOK showed maximum inhibition  when compare to the standard drug .
