Z Naturforsch C J Biosci. 2002 Sep-Oct;57(9-10):801-4. doi: 10.1515/znc-2002-9-1008.

Abstract

Muehlenbeckia hastulata (J. E.Sm.) Johnst. used mainly for its abortive properties was found active for oxytoxic and analgesic activities in a biological activity screening (oxytoxic, analgesic, antimicrobial, cytotoxic and xanthine oxidase assay). Epicatechin, emodin-8-glycoside and rutin were isolated from the aerial part and the root of the plant.
