Abstract
Conyza aegyptiaca (L.) Asteraceae is currently used in traditional medicine for many
purposes including cardiovascular diseases. For this purpose, the present study was understood to
investigate crude extract and different fractions of the plants on the frog heart activity and
furthermore its antioxidant was investigated. Results indicated that the crude extract and fractions
reduce all heart activity both amplitude and frequency. In contrast, crude extract and fractions do
not have antioxidant properties. This investigation reveals that utilization of ethanolic extract of
Conyza aegyptiaca to alleviate cardiovascular diseases may be passed through direct effect on the
heart. This result confirms the use of this plant in traditional medicine.
