Abstract
Various extracts of Hibiscus rosa-sinensis flowers have been studied for their antifertility activity on female albino rats. Benzene extract was found to be the most effective. For isolation of active constituents, the benzene extract was separated chemically into a number of fractions and their antifertility activities were studied systematically. The ether soluble portion of the water insoluble fraction of a benzene extract showed significant anti-implantation and abortifacient activities.
