Accepted 14 June, 2012 Jatropha multifida is a plant traditionally recognized for its medicinal properties. This study was undertaken not only to assess the hemostatic potential of the sap of J. multifida, but also to elucidate its chemical profile. Wistar rats were injured at various locations and time of bleeding was evaluated based on the addition of J. multifida’s sap or distilled water. Phytochemical study was performed on sap. J. multifida’s sap significantly reduced bleeding time. Indeed, more blood flow was noticed on the side that received physiological water than the one which received the sap. This is even truer when the cut is deep with times of bleeding reduction of 39.06, 47.89, and 46.68%, respectively for superficial wounds, saphenous vein, and the femoral vein clippings. The phytochemical screening of J. multifida showed the presence of tannins, flavonoids, saponins, leucoanthocyanes, mucilage and reducing compounds. The power of the hemostatic sap is explained by the strong presence of tannins and flavonoids. All this proves that using the sap of J. multifida in traditional medicine is justified. Key words: Hemostatic, Wistar rats, tannins, flavonoids, bleeding, Jatropha multifida. INTRODUCTION The World Health Organization has encouraged research on medicinal plants since 1978 in order to improve, secure and reduce the cost of medical products (OMS, 2002). No less than 170.000 bioactive molecules have been, to date, identified from plants (OMS, 2002). Despite these results, it should be noted that few plants have been studied for their therapeutic properties, and some pharmacological activities such as hemostatic effects *Corresponding author.

In Benin, for example, only about 500 plants were studied among the 3000 species of plants (Adjanohoun et al., 1989; Akoègninou et al., 2006). No studies have looked specifically at the inventory of hemostatic plants. The few existing data are from ethnobotanical surveys on the flora as a whole (de Souza, 1988; Adjanohoun et al., 1989; Akoègninou et al., 2006). However, there are some hemostatic plants including Jatropha multifida which is used in Vodou ritual practices to stop external bleeding (Adjanohoun et al., 1989). Interest for hemostatic plants is justified by the fact that hemorrhage is the first cause of early death in surgery bleedings (Sauaia et al., 1995). It is now a leading cause
