Abstract
The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of oral administration of the extracts of unripe fruit of Carica papaya L. on Swiss albino mice. Various extracts of the unripe fruit were prepared and the phytochemical analysis was carried out. The determination of abortifacient activity was carried out using animal model. The observations suggested that the hormonal stability is altered which led to termination of pregnancy.
