title: Studies on Achras sapotal: part IV--chemistry and pharmacology of wood.
abstract: Phytochemical screening of the n-hexane fraction of the alcoholic extract of Achras sapotal has shown the presence of oleane and ursane types of triterpenoids. Pharmacology of the alcoholic extract was studied on Wister rats anaesthetized with recommended dose. The extract caused a fall in systolic, diastolic and mean arterial blood pressure (MABP) in a dose depended manner.
