Abstract
The extracts of Machiluss odoratissima & Sonchus
wightianus were subjected to investigate phytochemical,
cytotoxic and antimotility properties. The phytochemical

cytotoxic screening showed that both the extracts are nontoxic.
The in vivo study showed the presence of potent
antimotility compounds in both plants.
