## Abstract Polyphenol oxidase extracted from oil bean (__Pentaclethra macrophylla__) seeds was purified 165โfold over the crude enzyme extract. The apparent molecular weight of the enzyme by gel filtration was 110.8 k ยฑ 9.0 k while SDSโPAGE indicated a single species of molecular weight 28.0 k. A
The aqueous (WE) and ethanol (EE) leaf extracts of Pentaclethra macrophylla were tested for antidiarrhoeal activity using experimental animal models. The i.p. LD 50 values were established to be 770 mg/kg and 280 mg/kg for the aqueous (WE) and ethanol (EE) extracts, respectively. Antidiarrhoeal pote
