2 Abstract: In the present study, the ethanolic extract from the aerial parts of Vinca major was evaluated for the antidiarrheal activity in rats. The effects of the ethanol extract from the aerial parts of Vinca major on castor oil induced diarrhea, castor oil and magnesium sulfate induced enteropooling, gastrointestinal motility test using charcoal meal methods were examined. This extract (250, 500 and, 1000 mg/kg, p.o.) was assayed on the latent periods, fecal frequencies in castor oil induced diarrhea. Gastrointestinal transit using charcoal meal, castor oil and magnesium sulfate induced enteropooling assays (500 mg/kg, p.o.) were conducted. These results suggested that the significant (p<0.05) reduction of the fecal output was observed at a dose of 500 mg/kg, p.o., in castor oil induced diarrhea, peristaltic movements in charcoal meal test, intestinal fluid secretions in castor oil and magnesium sulphate induced enteropooling, indicating its antidiarrheal activity. The results provide evidence that the ethanolic extract from Vinca major aerial parts possess antidiarrheal activities.
