In cytotoxic activity, out of the seven leaves extract three of them<em> </em>exhibited stronger brine shrimp lethality with LC<sub>50</sub> 122.548<em> (Uncaria acida)</em>, 170.861 (<em>Leea indica)</em> and 175.469 (<em>Piper porphyrophyllum</em>) μg /mL respectively, and  on MCF-7 cell line, they also exhibited moderate cytotoxic activity with different concentration of the extract of the same plant leaves such as,<em>Uncaria acida </em>(72.31, 56.22, 38.12 and 9.24%), <em>Leea indica </em>(67.31, 58.22, 43.12 and 15.24%)<em>,</em><em> Piper porphyrophyllum</em> (65.88, 48.12, 40.12 and 21.34%).<strong> </strong> In thrombolytic assessments, all the leaves extract showed moderate (considering &gt; 20% moderate; **p &lt; 0.01; *p &lt; 0.05) clot lysis activity, but among the extracts, <em>Uncaria cordata</em> (27.36 ± 0.10%) showed the highest and <em>Stachytarpheta indica </em>the lowest (6.14 ± 0.20%) percent clot lysis as compared with the standard streptokinase (65.15 ± 0.16%). This study was conducted to legalize the folkloric use of seven medicinal plant leaves.</p> ER -
