   • According to Mone M (2014)

     Excerpt Methylene chloride, benzene, chloroform, ethyl acetate & water extracts were applied to determine their growth inhibition against Phomopsis vexans, Phytophthora capsici, Fusarium oxysporum, Rhizoctonia solani & Sclerotium rolfsii. Allamanda cathartica leaf extract was made in water at room temperature (25 ± 2 °C) as well as in a number of less polar to highly polar solvents like methylene chloride, benzene, chloroform & ethyl acetate at their boiling point, that means, at refluxing temperature (40 ± 2 °C).
