dc.description.abstract	Thc toxicological effects of the aqueous leaf extract of Cassia occideutalis Linn were in rats. Acute toxicitv study was conducted following intraperitoneal administration of graded doses of the plant extract. LD of cassia occidentalis extract was found to be 1680mg/kg body weight. Mortality occurred in rats given the extract at high doses of 1200, 1800, 2600 and 3200mg/kg and appear to be dose dependent. Phytochemical analysis of the aqueous extract of cassia occidentalis leaf indicated that it contained tannins, anthraquinoncs. sterols, glycosides, saponin, and alkaloids.	en_US
