Albizia ferruginea is a very useful medicinal plant in Africa. Phytochemical screening of an ethyl alcohol extract of the leaves and the stem bark of this plant indicates the presence of tannins, saponins, and sterols. The extracts had significant antimicrobial activity on selected organisms. They also showed dose-dependent contractile effects on isolated uterine smooth muscles of non ¿ gravid, and gravid Sprague ¿ Dawley rats. This medicinal plant could therefore have a side effect of inducing abortion when used during pregnancy. |
