The phytochemical study of Dutura metel flower showed the presence of tannins, alkaloids, flavonoids, steroids, amino acids, reducing sugar, carbohydrate and absence of phlobotannins and anthroquinones. The aqueous extract was capable of reducing total cholesterol, creatine Kinase, LDL, SGOT, ACP, ALP levels in the experimental animal groups. The result indicated that the extract was effective and suppressing the myocardial infarction (MI).
