Abstract

In the present study, the hydro alcoholic extract of Moringa concanensis and their different fractions were evaluated for it's anti implantation, abortifacient, estrogenic and antiestrogenic activity. Hydro alcoholic extract of Moringa concanensis has showed potent antiimplantation and abortifacient activity at 200 mg/kg and 400 mg/kg respectively and marked estrogenic activity when administered individually and anti estrogenic activity was observed when administered along with ethinyl estradiol (1 ${\mu}g/rat/day$) as well as their different fractions of Moringa concanensis showed significant antiimplantation and abortifacient activity at 100 mg/kg. Moreover, all tested fractions showed significant anti estrogenic activity when administered simultaneously with ethinyl estradiol.
