Bio-guided isolation of antinociceptive compounds from Muntingia calabura l. leaf extract / Mohd Izwan Mohamad Yusof

Muntingia calabura (Elaeocarpaceae) is known as “Buah Ceri Kampung” locally. It has been claimed by the Peruvian folklore to possess medicinal values such as analgesic, which include soothing gastric ulcers, relieving headache and cold and reducing swelling of the prostate gland. This study focuses...
