Anti-implantation activity of the fruit of Lagenaria breviflora Robert

Journal of Ethnopharmacology, 1985
The fruit of Lagenaria breviflora Robert (Adenopus breviflorus Benth) family Cucurbitaceae used by natives as an abortifacient in Nigeria, was investigated for anti-implantation activity. The ethyl acetate extract of the whole fruit and methanol extract of the seed were very toxic to rats. Using ten female virgin albino rats for each extract, the World

Chromatographic and spectroscopic analysis of bound and unbound phenolic acids in Lagenaria breviflora fruit

Journal of Pharmaceutical and Biomedical Analysis, 1991
The fruit pulp of Lagenaria breviflora Robert (Cucurbitaceae), used in Nigeria as an anti-bacterial and anti-fertility drug, was found to contain phenolic acids. Isolation and characterization of these compounds was based on column chromatography, TLC, PC, UV, IR and GC-MS. While p-hydroxybenzoic and vanillic acids were found to occur as free and bound
