Abstract:

The effect of ethanol leaf extract of Jatropha tanjorensis on hepatorenal function of Plasmodium berghiberghi infected mice treated with root bark extract of Hippocratea africana was evaluated. Twenty-One (21) male mice weighing between 27 – 33 g used for the study were divided into seven groups. Group 1 served as normal control while Groups 2 – 7 were parasitized with Plasmodium berghi-berghi and Group 2 was the test control group (parasitized without treatment). Group 3 was administered 8 mg/kg bw of artemether-lumefantrine for 3 days. Group 4 and 5 received daily, 200 mg/kg bw and 300 mg/kg

Abstract:

The root of <em>Hippocratea africana</em> (Celastraceae) is used in ethnomedicine in South-Western Nigeria to treat infectious and parasitic diseases. This study aimed at identifying the compound(s) that are responsible for the antimicrobial activities of the roots and also to contribute to the chemistry of the plant species. Investigation of the phytochemical constituents and antimicrobial activity of the n-hexane and methanol root bark extracts of <em>Hippocratea africana </em>was carried out. These extracts were subjected to screening of preliminary phytochemical test, which showed the pres

Abstract:

Developing potent adulticidal and larvicidal products for mosquito control remains a major control strategy for several mosquito-borne parasitic disease. The bio-efficacy of Hippocratea africana and Lasianthera africana methanol leaf extracts were assessed against the larvae of Anopheles gambiae. Plant extracts were shade dried at room temperature and powdered coarsely. Extracts concentrations used for larvicidal bioassays were 0.15, 0.30, 0.45, 0.60 and 0.75 w/v. Observations were made after 24, 48 and 72 h of exposure. The LC50 and LC90 of L. africana and H. africana against the larval of An

Doxorubicin (DOX) is an anthracycline glycoside antibiotic with high efficacy against various forms of cancer, whose clinical usefulness has been limited by associated undesirable organs toxicities such as cardiomyopathy, nephrotoxicity and hepatotoxicity despite its high therapeutic index. Hippocratea africana root used locally in the treatment of poisoning was evaluated for antidotal potentials against DOX-induced liver toxicity in rats. Hippocratea africana ethanol root extract as well as dichloromethane and aqueous fractions were evaluated for hepatoprotective activity against doxorubicin-

Abstract:

Hippocratea africana, a medicinal plant, used in ethnomedicine for the treatment of antimalarial, diabetes, poisoning and inflammatory diseases was investigated for cytotoxic and genotoxic effects on the root meristem cells of Allium cepa. The extract and fractions was also screened for total flavonoid and phenol content using standard methods. Onion bulbs were exposed to 2.5 mg/ml, 5mg/ml, and 10 mg/ml concentrations of the leaf extract for macroscopic and microscopic analysis. Tap water was used as a negative control and Methotrexate (0.1 mg/ml) as a positive control. There was statistically

Abstract:

Hippocratea africana (HA) extract has been widely reported for its anti-plasmodial and antioxidant activites. This study was designed to investigate the plants' ethanolic leaf extract on the liver and renal functions, and histology in experimental animal model. Fifteen female adult Wistar rats weighing 150 - 160 g were divided into 3 groups (A - C) of 5 rats each. Group A, the normal control received distilled water 4 ml/ kg body weight, groups B and C received HA extract (524.4 and 786.6 mg/kg body weights respectively); representing 20% and 30% of LD50 which was 2622.2 mg/kg body weight.

Abstract:

Hippocratea africana root used locally in the treatment of poisoning was investigated to confirm its antidotal potential in rats. The root extract (200-600 mg/kg) and fractions; dichloromethane (DCM) and aqueous, 400 mg/kg) were evaluated for nephroprotective activity against doxorubicin-induced kidney injury in rats. Kidney function parameters, kidney oxidative stress markers and kidney histology were used to assess the kidney protective effect of the extract. The root extract and fractions (200-600 mg/kg) significantly (p<0.05-0.01) reduced the levels of creatinine, urea and electrolytes

Abstract:

Drug resistance is the major challenge that has undermined the viability of the synthetic anti-malaria drugs. The active ingredients inherent in plants are distributed to the various parts which can only be explored based on available information on them. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the anti-plasmodium berghei activity of ethanol root bark extract of Hippocratea Africana. Freshly harvested root bark of H. Africana was dried at room temperature and afterwards ground into fine powder. 500 g of the powdered plant sample was extracted. Twenty five adult mice were divided into five
