Abstract

Preliminary phytochemical, pharmacological, antibacterial and antiovulatory „studies were conducted on the seeds of Annona squamosa, Linn. Qualitative analysis revealed the presence of alkaloids, reducing sugars, glycosides and steroids and the absence of saponins, resins, tannins and volatile oils. Ethanolic extract exhibited no pharmacological, anti–bacterial or antiovulatory activities of therapeutic significance.
