Abstract
Seaweeds have valuable secondary metabolites that have an important role for the biological activities. In the present study, the screening of diuretic activity of Gracilaria corticata J.Ag. collected from Hare island, Thoothukudi in the south east coast of Tamil Nadu, India was analyzed. Dried powder plant materials were subjected to methanol extract at the dose of 200mg/kg and 400mg/kg body weight. Methanol crude extract showed potential significant diuretic activity in both doses from 1 hour to 4 hour as compared to the standard drug furosemide. The present study has been provided the evidence for the diuretic activity of Gracilaria corticata J.Ag. which could partly contribute to its ethno medical use.
