EExHs was undertaken for cytotoxic assay by Brine shrimp lethality bioassay, antinociceptive action by acetic acid induced writhing test, and antidiarrheal activity by castor oil induced antidiarrheal test.

In acetic acid induced writhing test, oral administration of EExHs at three different doses (125, 250, and 500 mg\/kg) decreased writhing in dose-dependent manner while the highest dose (500 mg\/kg) achieved the maximum percentages of pain inhibition (58.8%). Diclofenac sodium (25 mg\/kg) was used as a reference antinociceptive drug. The antidiarrheal action of EExHs was not found to be very promising for further use; however, the pure compounds from EExHs could be analyzed to justify the effects.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"j_jbcpp-2016-0103_s_996_w2aab2b8c66b1b7b1aab1c15b4Aa\">\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This research demonstrates that the secondary metabolites guided cytotoxic and analgesic effects could be extensively studied in multiple models to confirm the effects.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1515\/jbcpp-2016-0103","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,11,5]],"date-time":"2016-11-05T06:01:03Z","timestamp":1478325663000},"page":"185-190","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Evaluation of cytotoxic, analgesic, antidiarrheal and phytochemical properties of\n                    <i>Hygrophila spinosa<\/i>\n                    (T.
