Journal Title: International Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences and Drug Research - Year 2017, Vol 9, Issue 2
Abstract
Most of the world’s populations residing in developing countries depend on alternative medicine and use of plant ingredients. Caesalpinia pulcherrima (Fabaceae) is used in folk medicine for the treatment of various diseases including asthma, bronchitis, cholera, diarrhea, dysentery and malarial infection. The aim of the study to identified bioactive compounds presence in the chloroform leaf extract of Caesalpinia pulcherrima (L.) Sw. using Gas Chromatography and Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis.
