چکیده
Cissus populnea has been used locally to treat many ailments such as venereal, stomach and skin infections; and also used as laxative or purgative. Economically it has been used as binder in food and in lining dye pits. This work aims at determining the type of anthraquinones from the stem bark of C. populnea which might be a potential source of drugs (laxative/cathartic) using thin layer chramatograpy (TLC) and senna leaf as reference. The analysis showed the stem bark anthroquinone extract to contain physcion and chrysophanol.

The nutritional, anti-nutritional and mucilage contents of flour of leaves of two vegetables Bombax costatum leaf (BCL) and Cissus populnea leaf (CPL) were investigated. Their protein (≈19.0 g/100g in BCL and ≈13.0 g/100g in CPL) and ash (≈6.0 g/100g in BCL and ≈11.0 g/100g in CPL) contents were significantly different at P < 0.05. Both leaves were rich in Ca (BCL, 102 ± 2.5 mg/100g; CPL, 113 ±...
