Cocos nucifera (Arecaceae) is commonly called “the coconut tree”. The constituents of C. nucifera produces antifungal, antimicrobial, anthelmintic and antitumor activities. The present work involves the evaluation of antiuroliathiatic activity of red and green variety of tender coconut water. Calcium oxalate, the artificial stone was prepared by homogenous precipitation method. The semi permeable membrane obtained from egg was used as dissolution bag. Cystone tablet was used as standard drug. The content of the dissolution bag was incubated for 24 h and the entire content was determined spectrophotometrically at 620 nm. Both red and green tender coconut water possess significant antiuroliathiatic activity. Red tender coconut shows more potent activity than green tender coconut.
