The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of the ethanol extract of Simarouba versicolor on reproductive parameters of Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus): implantation index (%), resorption index (%), pre-implant loss, post-implant loss of the parents. pregnancy, the rats with approximately 90 days, weighing 160 to 250 g were divided into 4 groups (n=8), Control, Sv-EtOH 10, 20, 40mg/kg. The formulas used to evaluate reproductive parameters were following: IMPLEMENTATION INDEX = (number of implantations / number of corpus luteum)x100; REABSORPTION INDEX = (no resorption*/ no implants) x100* no resorptions = (no implants)-(nofetuses); PRE-IMPLANT LOSSES = (No. of corpus luteum - No. of implants / No. of corpus luteum) x100; POSTIMPLANT LOSSES = (number of implants - number of natives / number of implants) x100. In the analysis of the implantation index, resorption, pre-implant loss and post-implantation loss were not significant when compared to the control. These results indicate the absence of maternal toxicity for the investigated doses during the period of pre-implantation, implantation and full term pregnancy. However, further studies with different doses and concentrations of Simarouba versicolor extract will be necessary in the gestational period.(AU)
