A preliminary study of the species known as the African tulip tree (Spathodea campanulata), which is characterized by a notable insecticidal effect in its flower [1], identified volatile compounds such as ammonium carbamate in pistils and propan-2-amine in stamens and petals using HS/CG-MS. A qualitative phytochemical analysis of the total ethanolic extract (TEE) found families of alkaloids, coumarins, saponins, and flavonoids, to which this insecticidal capacity is attributed. This study continues the research, this time focusing on evaluating the cytotoxic and phytotoxic activity of the TEE obtained by microwave-assisted extraction (MAE).
