Pharmacology:
Alcoholic and aqueous extracts of the roots cause fall in blood pressure but the chloroform extract raised the blood pressure in dogs. Achyranthine produced hypertension and depression of the heart, dilation of blood vessels in dogs, spasmogenic effect in frog rectus muscle and diuretic and purgative effect in albino rats. Alcoholic extract has hypoglycemic activity. Seed saponins increased contraction of the isolated heart of frog, guinea pig & rabbit. The effect was quicker in onset and shorter in duration than that exerted by digoxin. Saponins have phosphorylate activity in heart. Saponins have diuretic activity in albino rats and in dogs.
