Optimization of extraction parameters of selected Malaysian plants towards antiurolithiatic activities (IN-VITRO)
Urolithiasis has become a worldwide problem and its management depends on surgical procedures that are costly and cause reoccurrence. Anacardium occidentale (gajus), Ananas comosus (nanas), Aquilaria malaccencis (karas), Centella asiatiaca (pegaga), Ceiba petandra (kekabu), Euphorbia hirta (ara tana...

Meanwhile, optimum condition of A. malaccencis extract (100% ethanol, 30.0°C, 30 minutes) demonstrated 83.58±0.75% (turbidity) and 86.57±0.80% (titrimetric).
