Abstract
The ethanolic extract of A. aureum and its fractions were evaluated for postovulatory antifertility activity in female rats. The water soluble fraction of ethanolic (95%) extract prevented (100%) pregnancy when administered to female rats on days 1-7 postcoitum. This fraction was found devoid of both estrogenic and antiestrogenic activities.
