Resumen en inglés The inhibition of calculi forming oxalate by dietary Basella rubra plant organs leaf and stem pod has been investigated. The weight reduction assay was studied. Also a concoction of the plant organs was tested. Leaf extract was found with considerable activity whereas the concoction seems to be not much active as the stem pod extract. Soluble oxalate of the plant organs are partially removed prior to extraction of active constituents. The active component/s seem to be a non-protein and non-tannin molecule/s that may act through inhibition of calcium accumulation there by proving the positive activity against the calculi or kidney stone. Regular consumption of leaf and stem pod extracts of our plant would be helpful in calculi prophylaxis
