TLDR
The results of in vivo experiments gave evidence of a low order of toxicity of Morinda citrifolia root, and it appears that the hypotensor activity resides in the water-soluble fraction of the root of Mor Linda citr ifolia.Abstract:
The results of a study of the anatomy of the stem of Morinda citrifolia L. are described. A preliminary report of the pharmacodynamic study of a 95 per cent alcoholic extract of the root on the isolated uterine horn of an albino rat showed some measure of sedation using doses of 1 to 5,000 to 1 to 36,000. A water decoction of the crude whole root, injected intravenously in the anesthetized dog, in a dose representing 4 Gm. produced a marked lowering of blood pressure which lasted approximately twenty-six minutes. It appears that the hypotensor activity resides in the water-soluble fraction of the root of Morinda citrifolia . The results of in vivo experiments gave evidence of a low order of toxicity of Morinda citrifolia root.read more

The Green synthesis of gold nanoparticles using an aqueous root extract of Morinda citrifolia L
TL;DR: The FTIR result showed that extract containing protein might be responsible for the formation of the nanoparticles and may play an important role in the stabilization of the formed nanoparticles.

Volatile components of ripe fruits of Morinda citrifolia and their effects on Drosophila
TL;DR: The chemical composition of the ripe fruit of Morinda citrifolia, the only larval resource of the specialist species, Drosophila sechellia, was investigated and 51 compounds were abundant enough to be identified by GC-MS.

New anthraquinone and iridoid from the fruits of Morinda citrifolia.
TL;DR: One new anthraquinone, 5,15-O-dimethylmorindol, and one new iridoid, morindacin, together with two known iridoids, were isolated from the fruits of Morinda citrifolia and their structures were elucidated by analysis of spectroscopic data.
