【 摘 要 】

In order to establish parameters for the control quality ofCaesalpinia ferreaMart. stem, the drug was characterized by the methods described in Farmacopéia Brasileira IV and by the World Health Organization. The powdered plant material was submitted to the following tests for purity evaluation: foreign matter, total ash, acid insoluble ash, water content, chloride and sulfate limit assays, and microbiological contamination. Determination of haemolytic activity, foaming index, swelling index and bitterness index were done to characterize the constituents eventually present in the drug, as well as the characterization of the ethanolic crude extract and its fractions by thin-layer chromatography.
