In Vitro And In Vivo Antifilarial Activity Of Standardized Extract Of Calotropis procera Flowers Against Brugia malayi.

Whether this activity is due to lupeol, β-sitosterol and triacontanol found in the hexane fraction remains to be investigated. This is the first report on antifilarial efficacy of flowers of the plant C. procera. PMID: 31218959 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
