title: Hypoglycemic, anticomplement and anti-HIV activities of Spathodea campanulata stem bark.
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.
