Abstract:
Hypotensive effect of the extract of leaves of C. colebrookianum was investigated. An extremely bitter fraction was isolated, which gave positive test for alkaloids. The fraction produced fall of blood pressure in a dose dependent manner. The fall of blood pressure was blocked by atropine. Hypertensive effects of adrenaline and noradrenaline were slightly antagonised by the alkaloidal extract.
