(KEB). “Dried leaves may cause fatal poisoning” (WOI). Sore mouth, loss of taste, and/or vomiting,
etc. occurred in 75% of patients after only 3–6 leaves. LD50 of the crude alcoholic extract of the
drug was found to be 2 mg/kg (WOI). If correct this a very dangerous drug. That means less than
a gram (200 mg) of the tincture could kill me. Until I have better information, I have given the
herb the X for safety.
Extracts (Indian Ipecac) — Extracts stimulate adrenal cortex, antagonize steroid-induced sup-
pression of adrenal activity, and increase plasma steroid levels (KEB). Tylophorine is quite toxic
(LD50 = 35 mg/kg orl rat) (KEB). Extracts ipr in mice (400 mg/kg) about as good an antiedemic
as phenylbutazone (80 mg/kg). Phenanthroindolizidine alkaloids contribute to antiasthmatic activity.
Sabinsa (1998) cites data comparing 10 mg/day of the bronchodilator isoprenaline sublingually
with 2 capsules/day (100 mg) dry leaf. The herb was a bit better at improving lung function (SAB).INDIAN JUJUBE, INDIAN PLUM (Ziziphus mauritiana Lam.) ++Synonyms: Rhamnus jujuba L., Ziziphus jujuba (L.) Gaertn.
