Results showed that the drug has significant dose-dependent anti-ovulatory property and was more effective when administered before proestrus. The oestrus cycle especially the dia-oestrous phase was significantly prolonged. Thus, CBE treatment significantly altered natural ovulation times. However there was resumption of normal oestrus cycle 10 days after stopping the administration of CBE. Our results suggest that CBE altered the pattern of oestrogen secretion/levels, and this led to delayed luteolysis. [Mcneil, R.t & Noronha, C.c & Kusemiju, T.o & Okanlawon, Abayomi. (2003).

Amongst all, the species Ricinus communis or castor plant has high traditional and modern medicinal values. The individual parts of the plant like the seed, seed oil, leaves and the roots showed their importance in pharmacology. Traditionally, the plant has been used for the treatment of various diseases in traditional or folk remedies throughout the world. In modern pharmacology, this plant is reported to possess antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic, central analgesic, antitumor, anti-nociceptive, antiasthmatic activity and other medicinal properties. These activities of the plant are due to the presence of important phytochemical constituents like flavonoids, glycosides, alkaloids, steroids, terpenoids etc. The aim of present article is to explore the chemical constituents, their structures and medicinal importance of Ricinus communis.
