| dc.description.abstract | The aim of this study was to evaluate the cinchona bark obtained from plants cultivated in Kenya. The bark was examined microscopically and by chemical methods. The bark was found to contain 8.5 percent of total alkaloids calculated as quinidiHe sulphate (on a moisture free basis). The TLC study revealed the presence of quinine and quinidine in the bark extract in the ratio approximately 1:1. | en_US |
