The present study was designed to verify the antidiarrhoeal effects of a lyophilized extract of wine from Jacquez grapes (Ord. Rhamnales ; Fam. Vitaceae ; Sp. Vitis aestivalis M.‐ cinerea E. × Vitis vinifera L.), studying its influence on castor oil‐induced diarrhoea and enteropooling, and on gastrointestinal transit (measured by a charcoal marker) in mice. The pre‐treatment of the animals with the JWE ( Jacquez wine extract) produced a significant inhibition against castor oil induced‐diarrhoea and intestinal fluid accumulation; furthermore the extract significantly decreased the propulsive movement of the charcoal meal. These findings suggest a potential benefical use of the JWE in the treatment of diarrhoeal diseases. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
