Abstract

Ten extracts of different parts of plant species of West and South of Algeria were tested for anti-crystallisation of calcium oxalate activity in synthetic urine. Formation of calcium oxalate monohydrate crystals was significantly inhibited in the presence of all plant extracts tested, with the inhibitory potency in the following order: Erica multiflora, Ammodaucus leucotrichus, Ajuga iva, Atriplex halimus, Erica arborea, Globularia alypum (roots), Stipa tenacissima, Globularia alypum (flowers), Chamaerops humilis and Tetraclinis articulate. The inhibitory effects were dose-dependent. Extracts of Ammodaucus leucotrichus and Ajuga iva were also found to potently inhibit the nucleation, growth and aggregation phases of calcium oxalate crystallisation, while extracts of Erica multiflora, and Globularia alypum (flowers), inhibited nucleation and growth of the crystals but not their aggregation.
