In recent years, search for new antilithiatic drugs from natural sources has assumed greater importance. Objectives: This study was performed to investigate the anti-urolithiatic activity of methanolic extract of Duranta erecta leaves by in vitro and in vivo analysis. Materials and methods: The study was designed to determine presence of phytochemicals in D. erecta, its yield in percentage, antioxidant activity against 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and anti-microbial property against few bacteria. In vitro analysis was carried out study anti-urolithiatic property of D. erecta by nucleation assay and synthetic urine assay for inhibition of calcium oxalate and calcium oxalate monohydrate crystals formation. An in vivo experiment was performed on Wistar rats for confirmation of anti-urolithiatic property of D. erecta in animal model. Results: D. erecta has the presence of primary and secondary metabolites like glycoside, saponins, sterols, flavonoids, phenols, tannins, alkaloids, carbohydrates and proteins. Methanolic extract of D. erecta gave a very good yield (60%). D. erecta proved its antioxidant potential by 93.51% inhibition of DPPH radical at a concentration of 1000 μg/mL where ascorbic showed 94.71% of DPPH radical at the same concentration. In vitro tests like nucleation assay and synthetic urine assay showed that D. erecta inhibits formation of calcium oxalate and calcium oxalate monohydrate crystals. It also showed the anti-microbial property by formation of zone of inhibition against few bacteria. An in vivo experiment on Wistar rat animal model confirmed the anti-urolithiatic property of D. erecta L. leaves extract. Conclusions: Based on the results, we reported that D. erecta may treat calcium oxalate crystal deposition in the kidney by preventing hyperoxaluria-induced peroxidative damage to the renal tubular membrane surface (lipid peroxidation). It has anti-microbial potential so it may also inhibit the secondary bacterial infection in kidney. Based on the data, it can be concluded that this herb can be used as a potential anti-urolithiasis agent for kidney stone removal.&lt;/p&gt;

	Rasashastra is a pharmaceutics branch of Ayurveda describing scientific methods to convert metals and minerals into bio-compatible formulations used individually or plant admixed to enhance their bioavailability and efficacy. In the present study, red ochre (Gairik) powder was processed in cow's ghee by textual method of roasting. The steps of preparation and changes in the properties therein were documented and validated in triplicate batches to develop a monograph. Ayurvedic and basic tests were performed to determine the properties of Shuddha Gairik. The physical characterization included Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infra-red (FT-IR), Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) and Thermo-gravimetric Analysis (TGA). Elemental composition was estimated by titration and gravimetric analysis while heavy metal limits were assessed using Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrophotometry (ICPOES). This study depicted that crude red ochre, containing Kaolinite with high iron percentage, on roasting in cow's ghee led to the formation of fatty acids adsorbed red ochre particles. The developed monograph will be a guideline to the Ayurvedic industry for precise formulation of Shuddha Gairik. This will help researchers for better understanding the importance of Ayurvedic methods of pharmaceutical preparations and carry out their mechanistic studies in various diseases.&lt;/p&gt;
