Abstract
The aqueous extract of Brickellia veronicaefolia inhibited gastric emp tying time in rats and intestinal motility in mice, both effects were manifested in a dose-related fashion. The crude extract inhibited the contractions induced by acetylcholine and histamine concentration-depe ndently in the guinea-pig ileum, In the castor oil diarrhoea test, the extract showed 90% protection from diarrhoea at 150 mg/kg.
