Biological activity of bignay [Antidesma bunius (L.) Spreng] crude extracts in Artemia salina
In the present study, the leaves and fruits of bignay [Antidesma bunius (L.) Spreng] were extracted with methanol. The methanolic crude extracts were tested for its biological activity using the brine shrimp hatchability and lethality assay. Results showed biological activity of the extracts in both...
