METHOD FOR IDENTIFICATION OF METABOLITES POSSESING CALCIUM OXALATE STONE INHIBITAORY PROPERTIES IN PLANT EXTRACTS USING TLC BIOASSAY

摘要

The present invention relates to biotechnology field in which metabolite is detected using TLC antlithiatic assay from plant extract having capability of inhibition of calcium oxalate crystals which are predominant in kidney stone disorders. Kidney stone found to be major urological disorder in all across the world. Among which, Calcium-containing stones are the most common variety of urinary stone, and it comprises about 75% of all urinary calculi, which are found under the form of pure calcium oxalate (50%), calcium phosphate (5%) or a mixture of both (45%). Urinary stones are characterized by its high recurrence rate, if patients are not treated appropriately.
