| Abstract: | A preliminary and anterior pharmacological study about 68 plant antidiarrheic traditional preparations, has proved the antispasmodic activity for 42 of them. Some extracts proceeding of these possess an antispasmodic activity, specially if they contain polyphenols (flavono?ds, catechics tanins), saponins and alkalo?ds. |
