What is Contractile effect of some extracts from the leaves of Musanga cecropioides (Cecropiaceae) on uterine smooth muscle of the rat about?
## Abstract Portions of the hot water extract, chloroform and __n__‐butanol fractions of the leaves of __Musanga cecropioïdes__ were used to challenge uterine strips from nonpregnant and early stage pregnant (3–8 days) female Wistar rats. Uterine strips were obtained from oestrogenized females. The aqueous and __n__‐butanol extracts (10 mg/L showed very marked uterotonic effects which were more pronounced in the pregnant females. These contractile effects were dose‐dependent and comparable to oxytocin and acetylcholine (100 μg/mL) but were all antagonized by ethanol, a potent Ca^2t^ channel antagonist. These effects may account for the abortifacient properties of the extracts observed in previous __in vivo__ trials.
