Abstract
Latex samples were collected under cold ethanol (95%) from Calotropis procera plant which was obtained from border desert districts of Jeddah City, Saudi Arabia. The extraction of latex for its glycosidic groups was carried out by soaking or soxhelt extraction by using several solvents with different polarity. The contents were then separated by alumina - charcoal column chromatography with several solvent systems (chloroform, chloroform: ethylacetate (3: 1, 1: 1, 1: 3) and ethylacetate. The pure components were tested against Musca domestica larvae to demonstrate its toxic effects on the morphogentic characters of the developmental stages. The present investigation revealed that the morphogentic aberrations has been induced by all the used plant extracts when applied topically on early 3rd larval instar of M. domestica. [Najat A.
