Relaxant activity of raspberry (Rubus idaeus) leaf extract in guinea-pig ileum in vitro
Preclinical
Abstract
Raspberry (Rubus idaeus) leaf extract, traditionally used as a uterine relaxant and for diarrhoea, colic and wounds, produced a relaxant (antispasmodic) effect on guinea-pig ileum smooth muscle in vitro, providing pharmacological support for its traditional smooth-muscle-relaxing use.
