The aqueous and serially purified latex extracts of plants Euphorbia pulcherima and Euphorbia hirta (family Euphorbiaceae) have potent molluscicidal activity. Sub-lethal doses (40 and 80% of LC(50)) of aqueous and partially purified latex extracts of both the plants also significantly alter the levels of total protein, total free amino acid, nucleic acid (DNA and RNA) and the activity of enzyme protease and acid and alkaline phosphatase in nervous tissue of the snail Lymnaea acuminata in time and dose dependent manner. E. pulcherima and E. hirta are common medicinal plants of family Euphorbiaceae. E. pulcherima is useful for a variety of conditions, such as rheumatism, snakebite, asthma, obstipation, and skin-diseases. While, E. hirta is also used in cough, asthma, colic, dysentery, and genito urinary diseases.
植物大飞扬和飞扬草（大戟科）的水提物和经系列纯化的乳胶提取物具有很强的杀螺活性。亚致死剂量（LC50 的 40%和 80%）的水提物和部分纯化乳胶提取物也能显著改变神经组织中总蛋白、总游离氨基酸、核酸（DNA 和 RNA）的水平，以及蛋白酶、酸和碱性磷酸酶的活性在时间和剂量依赖的方式在蜗牛 Lymnaea acuminata 中。大飞扬和飞扬草是大戟科常见的药用植物。大飞扬可用于多种疾病，如风湿、蛇咬伤、哮喘、便秘和皮肤病。而飞扬草也用于咳嗽、哮喘、绞痛、痢疾和生殖泌尿系统疾病。
