Histopathological studies of stagninol, a sesquiterpene isolated from Persicaria stagnina and the crude extract of this plant were carried out on Wistar rats. High dose of the crude extract caused liver necrosis but structural integrity of kidney and spleen remained intact. Low dose of the crude extract and the pure compound stagninol were found to cause no degenerative changes on those organs. Microbiological studies revealed that both the crude extract and stagninol had no inhibitory effect on the growth of a number of bacteria tested.
