Aqueous extracts of Euphorbia hirta were used to study the anticlastogenic activity by in vivo rodent micronucleus assay. Mice were administrated two doses, 250 mg/kg and 500 mg/kg orally for a period of seven days and at the end of the seventh day, cyclophosphamide (50 m/kg) was given intraperitoneally. Bone marrow sample were analysed for cytotoxicity and micronucleus. Both the doses were not cytotoxic and clastogenic. There was a significant reduction in the micronucleus formation in bone marrow indicating the anticlastogenic activity of E. hirta. | Anticlastogenic effect of Euphorbia hirta using in vivo rodent micronucleus assay
