The aqueous extract displayed a significant inhibitory effect on the lethality, phospholipase activity, edema forming activity, fibrinolytic activity and hemorrhagic activity. About 0.14 mg and 0.16 mg of <em>M. pudica</em> extracts were able to completely neutralize the lethal activity of 2LD<sub>50</sub> of <em>Naja naja</em> and <em>Bangarus caerulus</em> venoms respectively. The present finding suggests that aqueous extract of <em>M. pudica</em> root possesses compounds, which inhibit the activity of <em>Naja naja</em> and <em>Bangarus caerulus</em> venoms.</p>}, number={2}, journal={Bangladesh Journal of Pharmacology}, author={Meenatchisundaram, Subramani and Priyagrace, Selvin and Vijayaraghavan, Ramasamy and Velmurugan, Ambikapathi and Parameswari, Govindarajan and Michael, Antonysamy}, year={2009}, month={May}, pages={105–109} }
