Introduction: Spondias mombin L. is a species used for the treatment of various infectious diseases. In this research was determined the physical-chemical and microbiological stability of a 70% alcoholic extract from leaves of Spondias mombin L. Material and Methods: For this purpose, the samples of (EHSM) were analyzed during 360 days and the oral acute toxicity in one dose was determined by performing the CTA method. Samples were collected at “El Caney” region, Santiago de Cuba; 50 g of dried leaves by oven were manually crushed and then, 150 mL of alcohol-water solvent (70:30) were added; after that procedure, maceration was performed for 48 h and subsequently rotoevaporated to 50 mL. To determine the physical-chemical stability these parameters were measured: relative density, total dissolved solids, pH, relative viscosity and electrical conductivity, established by the current Cuban Norm (NRSP 312, 1991) and, for the microbiological stability, the Cuban Norm 68-2007 was followed; parameters were determined at 0, 7, 30, 90, 180 and 360 days. The acute oral toxicity test based on the class method was conducted in Sprague Dawley rats. Results and Conclusions: The EHSM showed physical-chemical and microbiological stability. This extract did not show any clinical signs of toxicity or animal deaths and orally administered at one dose is regarded as unclassified for the animal model and the dosage used under the observed experimental conditions, according to the specific standard of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD 423: 2001).
