No systematic toxicity study for this plant was described. &lt;strong&gt;Objective: &lt;/strong&gt;The present study was undertaken to assess the safety use of this plant in traditional practice.&lt;strong&gt; Materials and Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;The acute oral toxicity study of aqueous extract of &lt;em&gt;Canscora heteroclita&lt;/em&gt; (AECH) was carried out as per the OECD guidelines 423 in mice and the sub-acute toxicity was carried out at a dose of 200 mg/kg and 400 mg/kg as per OECD 407 guidelines in male and female rats.&lt;strong&gt; Results: &lt;/strong&gt;Mice administered upto 2000 mg/kg as a single dose orally not caused any signs of toxicity or mortality in mice. In sub-acute toxicity study in rats, AECH at two different daily doses of 200 and 400 mg/kg for 28 days did not cause any significant change including the hematological and biochemical parameters. Histopathological examinations showed normal architecture suggesting no morphological disturbances. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;No deaths or any signs of toxicity was observed after oral administration in acute toxicity study upto a dose of 2000 mg/kg of AECH in mice and upto a dose of 400 mg/kg of AECH in sub acute toxicity study in rats.&lt;/p&gt;

Popular medicinal plant &lt;em&gt;Phyllanthus niruri&lt;/em&gt; contains various bioactive molecules, the present study aimed to observe the biochemical and cyto-architectural alterations in kidney associated with acute oral toxicity (LD&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt;) of aqueous extract of &lt;em&gt;P.niruri&lt;/em&gt; in Swiss albino mice. However, limited data is available about the toxicity of herbal remedies used for medication, which is a critical constrain. &lt;strong&gt;Materials and Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; For the acute oral toxicity study, the animals were divided into six groups of 6 mice each. Group&amp;ndash;I was named control group and the treatment groups were administered aqueous leaf extract of &lt;em&gt;P.niruri&lt;/em&gt; orally at different doses of 500 mg/Kg bw (Group-II), 1000 mg/Kg bw (Group-III), 2000 mg/Kg bw (Group-IV), 2500 mg/Kg bw (Group-V) and 3000 mg/Kg bw (Group-VI) for 15 consecutive days. The mice were sacrificed on and serum was collected for the biochemical analysis. The kidney was dissected and processed for histological analysis. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; The LD&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; dose of &lt;em&gt;P.niruri &lt;/em&gt;was found to be 2590.984 mg/Kg bw in Swiss albino mice model in laboratory condition. The result showed the elevated serum level of urea in treated group of mice at higher doses which was found to be statistically significant as compared to the control (Group&amp;ndash;I). There were no any significant increase in serum creatinine has been observed. Histological alteration were observed at higher dose more than 2500 mg/Kg bw (Group-VI). &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; It is evident from our study that &lt;em&gt;P. niruri &lt;/em&gt;may have toxic effect at high doses. Therefore, it should be ingested with precautions.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original Article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">77</style></section><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tanuja Singh&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;, Ruchi&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;, Anjali Singh&lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt;, Ravish Kumar&lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt; and Jitendra Kumar Singh&lt;sup&gt;4&lt;/sup&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
