Pharmacological studies have been carried out with the methanol extract of the whole plant of portulaca oleracea Linn (Portulacaceae).
The pharmacological tests show that it is non-toxic in the test of acute toxicity, p.o. and that it has inhibitory effects on the catharsis induced by castor oil and protective activity against CCl_4 intoxication, and mild diuretic action in mice, and also it has significant anti-inflammatory activity against the inflammation induced by acetic acid in rats.
