- Abstract
Spathodea campanulata stem bark decoction (SCD) has shown hypoglycemic activity in mice. It was separated by column chromatography into different fractions, which were evaluated for their hypoglycemic, anticomplement and anti-HIV activities. The most polar fraction exerted by far the most prominent effect in different biological models.
