Evaluation of anti fertility activities of bark extracts of caesalpinia pulcherrima linn. (caesalpiniaceae) in rats - Vol.83(2), March-April - Mumbai Indian Journal of Pharmaceutical Science 2021 - 393-397p.
The present study was aimed to evaluate the anti-ferlility activity of Caesalpinia pulcherrima Linn. in
rats. The plant Caesalpinia pulcherrima is a shrub or small tree. The plant is normally considered to
be an ornamental shrub which is planted in gardens and parks for its beautiful red or yellow flowers.
The phytochemical screening of the plant has shown the presence of various chemical constituents like
alkaloids, flavonoids, steroids and triterpenes. The bark extracts ofCaesalpinia pulcherrima have exhibited
significant estrogenic activity. Both the aqueous and alcoholic extracts have produced reduction in ovarian
and increase in uterine weight in a dose dependent manner. Also there is a signi ficant increase in anti-
implantation and resorption in a dose dependent manner. The activity shown can be attributed to the
presence of phytochemical constituents.
