*tudies europharmacological %ffects 2* 3epressant" *tudy evaluated

a/ueous leaf e#tracts for neuropharmacological activities in mice. esults

revealed 2* depressant activity attributed to the presence of bufadienolide

and other water soluble constituents. 516 ntinociceptive nti!inflammatory ntidiabetic" Leaf e#tract study of 7P on

animals showed it to possess antinociceptive, anti!inflammatory and

hypoglycemic properties probably due to the flavonoid, polyphenol and

triterpenoid contents. 586

ntiulcer" esults of methanolic e#tract study in rats showed that 7P possessedpotent antiulcer properties. Leaf e#tract showed significant reduction in

incidence of ulceration in indomethacin!induced gastric ulceration in a dose!

dependent manner.

ntimicrobial" %#tract of leaves showed activity against all test organisms e#cept

for 2andida albicans. 9f all the e#tracts of 7p, the methanol e#tract was themost active with marked antibacterial activities against control strain of *

aureus, % faecalis, 7 subtilis and P aeruginosa. 5:6

ntihypertensive" *tudy showed a blood pressure lowering effect. ;owever,

since the reduction in blood pressure was only slight, and because of potential
