“…The succulent leaves of Calotropis procera plant were collected from Nazareth (90 km southeast of Addis Ababa); it is located 8°33′0″ N Latitude, 39°16′0″ E Longitude at an elevation of 1,627 m with an average annual rainfall of 808 mm. The collected C. procera leaves were, identified by Botany Department, cleaned very well and dried by setting the temperature at 45 ± 1°C according to the method described by Netoa et al (2013). Then after, dried leaves of Calotropis procera ground into powder by using an electric blender and kept the powder under airtight container until next use.…”

“…Further studies have shown that laticifer proteins are involved in the plant's defense against crop pests (Ramos et al, 2007;Ramos et al, 2010). Several reports in literature indicate that the plant contains various classes of secondary metabolites, including flavonoids, cardioactive glycosides, triterpenoids, alkaloids, resins, anthocyanins, tannins, saponins and proteolytic enzymes (Neto et al, 2013). C. procera is regenerated by seed and produces lots of small seeds that are dispersed by wind; nonetheless, its density is very low.…”
