Journal: Universal Journal of Pharmaceutical Research
Year: 2016

Objectives: The present research is preliminary biological screening of aerial plant of Ranunculus muricatus (Ranunculaceae). Dichloromethane and methanol extracts of the aerial plant were investigated for their antifungal, phytotoxic and cytotoxic activities. Methods: Anti-fungal, cytotoxicity and phytotoxicity activities were performed by agar tube dilution assay, brine shrimp lethality bioassay and lemna bioassay respectively. Dichloromethane and methanolic extracts exhibited significant phyt
