   • According to Biswas K (2009)

     Excerpt The 70% ethanolic extract of Peltophorum pterocarpum leaves were investigated for its hepatoprotective effect against paracetamol induced acute liver damage on albino Wistar rats. These results suggest that 70% ELPP may have the potential therapeutic value in the treatment of paracetamol induced hepatic damage and some liver diseases.

     Excerpt The fatty acid distribution, proximate composition, physicochemical characteristics & levels (ppm) of selected trace metals (Fe, Mn, Cu, Pb, Cd & Zn) & macro nutrients (Na, K, Mg & Ca) were determined in the seeds & seed oils of D. Hydrocarbons, stigmasterol, phytol, sitosterol, ergost-4-en-3-one & ergost-5-en-3-ol were identified in the unsaponifiables of these oils.

   • According to Elufioye TO (2013)

     Excerpt pterocarpum inhibits cholinesterase & thus may be relevant in the treatment of memory dysfunctions & neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease,. pterocarpum using spectrophotometric & thin layer chromatography (TLC) bioautographic assay methods.

   • According to Manoharan T (2011)

     Excerpt The leaf & bark extracts of Peltophorum pterocarpum were evaluated for their DPPH, ABTS, & galvinoxyl radicals scavenging activity, phenolic content, α-glucosidase, α-amylase & aldose reductase inhibition, & advanced glycation end-products formation inhibition activities. Our findings provide a strong rationale for further in vivo studies & to establish PP’s capability as an antiglycemic agent.
