Streptokinase was used as positive control and water as negative control in the methodology of thrombolytic testing. In case of cytotoxic activity observation, Brine shrimp lethality bioassay testing method was used, 5% DMSO and brine shrimps were used as test materials, where DMSO as solvent for proper solution. The percent of thrombolysis by the extract showed 43.067 ± 3.0601%, whereas percent of thrombolysis by streptokinase was found 68.582 ± 1.7764%. From the cytotxicity study of the crude extract LC<sub>50</sub> was found 1.981µg/ml with 95% confidence limit[1] was 1.7299-2.2706 µg/ml. The current study refers the plant leaves as impressive thrombolytic and cytotoxic agent for further laboratory study.</p><p><strong>Keywords:</strong> Flemingia macrophylla, thrombolytic, Cytotoxicity, DMSO, 95% confidence limit.</p> ER -
