Achyranthes aspera Linn. (Amaranthaceae) is an abundant indigenous herb in India. It is traditionally being used as an abortifacient. Four successive solvent extracts of the root were screened for antifertility activity in female albino rats. The chloroform and ethanol extracts exhibited 100% anti-implantation activity when given orally at 200 mg/kg body weight. Both the extracts at the dose of 200 mg/kg body weight also exhibited estrogenic activity. Histological studies of the uterus were carried out to confirm this estrogenic activity.
牛筋草(苋科)是印度一种常见的本土草本植物。传统上它被用作堕胎药。对牛筋草根的四种连续溶剂提取物进行了雌性白化大鼠抗生育活性筛选。氯仿提取物和乙醇提取物以200毫克/千克体重口服给药时,显示出100%的抗着床活性。两种提取物在200毫克/千克体重剂量下也表现出雌激素活性。对子宫进行了组织学研究以证实这种雌激素活性。
