<br/><br/> The present study was aimed to evaluate the anti-ferlility activity of Caesalpinia pulcherrima Linn. in<br/>rats. The plant Caesalpinia pulcherrima is a shrub or small tree. The plant is normally considered to<br/>be an ornamental shrub which is planted in gardens and parks for its beautiful red or yellow flowers.<br/>The phytochemical screening of the plant has shown the presence of various chemical constituents like<br/>alkaloids, flavonoids, steroids and triterpenes. The bark extracts ofCaesalpinia pulcherrima have exhibited<br/>significant estrogenic activity. Both the aqueous and alcoholic extracts have produced reduction in ovarian<br/>and increase in uterine weight in a dose dependent manner. Also there is a signi ficant increase in anti-<br/>implantation and resorption in a dose dependent manner. The activity shown can be attributed to the<br/>presence of phytochemical constituents.
