Popis: Ethnopharmacological relevance: Canarium schweinfurthii, also called ‘’Elemierd’Afrique’’, is used in Cameroonian folk medicine (bark decoction) to treat patients suffering from hypertension.Aim of the study: This study aimed at evaluating the antihypertensive activities of the stem bark of Canarium schweinfurthii and identifying potential compounds present in its extract that may support or oppose its ethnomedicinial use. Materials and methods: Stem bark extract of Canarium schweinfurthii was prepared by maceration using 70 % ethanol followed by redissolution in methanol and hyphenated. Ultra-Performance Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) analysis for the detection and characterisation of secondary metabolites. Antihypertensive effects were assessed in Wistar rats after induction of hypertension with sodium chloride (NaCl) 18 % at a dose of 0.01mL/gbody weight once a day for four weeks.Hemodynamic parameters were measured weekly by anon-invasive method using the CODA system. Results: The ethanolic bark extract of C. schweinfurthii significantly inhibited the increase of blood pressure with a maximum of 23.18 % (systolic pressure, p
