Objective : To study the antisnake venom effect of ischolar_mains of Dichrostachys cinerea W. & A. Materials and methods : Antisanke venom property of D. cinerea was evaluated by using Russell's viper venom (Daboia russelli) and albino mice. Potency of methanolic and etherial extract was compared. Results : Methanolic extract of the ischolar_mains of Dichrostachys cinerea has shown significant decrease in the mortality percentage in venom induced mice. Conclusion: D. cinerea has shown a positive effect of nullifying the viper venom toxicity in mice and can be recommended for further studies as an antidote to snakebite poisoning.
