Pythochemical analysis and acute oral toxicity study of the ethanolic leaves extract of Plectranthus amboinensis (Lour) Spreng
Phytochemical analysis on the crude ethanolic extract of leaves of Malaysian Plectranthus amboinensis (Lour) Spreng was carried out to delineate the presence of its chemical constituents like Alkaloid, Flavonoid, Saponin, Triterpenoid, Steroid, and Phenolic. Acute oral toxicity at one dose level of...
