Abstract:
The trial of acute oral toxicity of the seed of Momordica cochinchinensis in mice showed that LD50 of the seed powder is 92.27g/kg. The result of the study should be considered in the attempt to use the seed of Momordica cochinchinensis as a drug administered orally. While waiting for confirmation, it is necessary to inform in public that taking this seed orally should be avoided
