    <abstract language="eng">Objective:<span style="font-weight: 400;"> Evaluation of Anti-urolithiatic and Larvicidal activity of </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Alternanthera sessilis</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span>

Method:<span style="font-weight: 400;"> The whole plant of </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Alternanthera sessilis</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> were extracted using ethanol as solvent. Then it was evaluated for its phytochemicals and later on </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">in vitro</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> anti-urolithiatic study was conducted on the plant using the methods titrimetry, simultaneous flow static model, turbidimetry and gravimetric. The plant showing larvicidal effect was determined</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">by larvicidal assay method.</span>

Result: <span style="font-weight: 400;">The ethanolic extract of the plant showed the presence of various phytochemicals like phenols, flavonoids, tannins, sterols, saponins. The anti urolithiatic activity conformed that the plant can effectively mineralise calcium oxalate in a dose dependent manner when compared to control and standard. The plant also possesses larvicidal activity and the percentage mortality exhibited a dose dependent manner.</span>

Conclusion:<span style="font-weight: 400;"> The ethanolic extract of the plant possessed anti- urolithiatic as well as larvicidal activity.</span></abstract>
