ABSTRACT
The crude extract eluted from the seed of Bixa orellana was seen to cause hyperglycaemia in anaesthetized dogs. Further investigation was carried out to find the biologically active component. Column chromatography, PLC and recrystallizations yielded a pure residue with m.p. 220. The experimental dogs in quantities below one gram, it caused sustained hyperglycaemia and severe damage to tissues of the liver, kidney and pancreas. The level of toxicity associated with this plant is of interest, since its extract is widley used in various goods (AU)
