Citrullus colocynthis was reported in multiple ethnopharmacologic studies from different part of the world as a traditional remedy for a variety of diseases including gastrointestinal, musculoskeletal, neurological, cardiovascular, and respiratory disorders also, diabetes mellitus is known as the most popular traditional indication of C Introductions (Pis) of Citrullus lanatus (Thunb.) Matsum. & Nakai var. citroides (L. H. Bailey) Mansf., one P1 of C. lanatus var. lanatus, and three Pis of Citrullus colocynthis (L.) Schrad. were evaluated in greenhouse tests for resistances to Meloidogyne incognita (Kofoid & White) Chitwood race 3 and Meloidogyne arenaria (Neal) Chitwood race 2. Colocynth is UNSAFE for use. It was banned by the Food and Drug Administration in 1991.. Taking even very small amounts of colocynth can cause severe irritation of the stomach and intestine lining, bloody diarrhea, kidney damage, bloody urine, and inability to urinate.Other side effects include convulsions, paralysis, and death. Colocynthis citrullus, but is now classified as Citrullus colocynthis. Tendrils are simple, 2- 3fits slender and hairy. Leaves are very variable in size. Wild leaf is 3.8 to 6.3 cm in length and 2.5 cm in width while cultivated are large in size. Leaf show deltoid margin, pale green colour above and ashy colour beneath, International Journal of Pharmaceutical Studies and Research E-ISSN 2229-4619 IJPSR/Vol. II/ Issue II/April-June, 2011/1-10 Research Article EFFECT OF CITRULLUS COLOCYNTHIS IN AMELIORAT E THE OXIDATIVE STRESS AND NEPHROPATHY IN DIABETIC (1754) nom. rej. but Colocynthis cocolobus Schrad. may be an accepted name (Plant List, 2015).

Schrad, and their toxicological effects were screened against different larval instars of Spodoptera litura. The bioactive compound cucurbitacin E was chemically characterized through TLC, FT-IR, and NMR analyses. To evaluated the differential effects of ethanol extraction of Citrullus colocynthis (C. colocynthis) on the blood glucose concentration and pathology of pancreas, liver, lungs, kidney and gastrointestinal tract in the alloxan induced diabetes in rats. Citrullus colocynthis, also known as bitter cucumber, is a fruit-bearing plant sometimes used medicinally.. Citrullus colocynthis is used to treat diabetes, since it may be able to induce insulin secretion from the pancreas after supplementation, while reducing blood glucose and improving lipid levels.
