Abstract:

Picralima nitida is medicinal plant that is highly valued for its wide medicinal properties throughout its distribution areas. Hence, the objective of this paper is to evaluate the socio-economic and medicinal benefits of Picralima nitida in Ibadan South East Local Government Area, Oyo State, Nigeria using appropriate standard methods. Results showed that the respondents were dominated by females (86.0%), married (66.0%) with no formal education (29.0%). Based on the likert scale rating, nine perceptional statements were agreed to except combining Picralima nitida with synthetic drug for use w

Abstract:

Picralima nitida is a plant commonly used in traditional African medicine for its antimalarial, antidiuretic, antidiarrheal, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. The aim of this work was to evaluate the effect of the aqueous extract of Picralima seeds nitida on the glycemia of rats. To achieve this objective, we performed phytochemical screening using the tube revelation method. The effect of the aqueous extract of Picralima nitida seeds on glycemia was evaluated in normoglycemic and hyperglycemic rats. The screening results indicated the presence of polyphenols, catechic tannins, flavon

Abstract:

Picralima nitida and Cymbopogon citratus has been associated with anti-inflammatory and hematopoietic properties, hinting at their potential effectiveness in addressing the complications of anaemia. Investigating their impact on the gene expressions of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and Interleukin 10 (IL-10) can provide insights into their modes of operation and capacity to regulate inflammatory pathways and immune responses linked to anaemia. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of bi-herbal formula of Picralima nitida and Cymbopogon citratus aqueous leaf extracts on COX-2 and IL-10 g

Abstract:

Background: Alterations in the expressions of ETS variant-6 (ETV6) and Nuclear Factor Erythroid 2 (NFE2) may occur as part of cellular response to phenyl-hydrazine administration and the need to replenish RBCs. Understanding the relationship between phenyl-hydrazine-induced damage, erythropoiesis, and transcriptional regulation mediated by ETV6 and NFE2 provides valuable insights into the mechanisms underlying anaemia. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the effect of bi-herbal formula of Picralima nitida and Cymbopogon citratus aqueous leaf extracts on ETV6 and NFE2 gene expressions in p

Abstract:

<em>Parts of Picralima nitida are used by traditional medicine practitioners to treat illnesses such as diabetes and gastro-intestinal problems. Pulverized dried seeds of Picralima nitida were extracted using ethanol. The phytochemical composition of the seeds sample; LD<sub>50</sub> and the effect of seeds extract on parasitaemia were determined. Qualitative and quantitative phytochemical screening of the seeds sample revealed flavonoids, saponins, glycosides, steroids, alkaloids, soluble carbohydrates, reducing sugars, tannins, terpenoids, phenols and hydrogen cyanides.

Background: Picralima nitida (Stapf) commonly called akuamma belongs to the family apocynaceae found mostly in forest areas of Africa. It is a shrub or a deciduous tree that can grow up to 35 meters in height. It has a cylindrical trunk measuring about 60 cm in diameter with white latex in its parts. The bark of the trunk is fragile and is greyish brown or black in colour.Methods: The acute oral toxicity test was done using up and down method. The anti-ulcerogenic activities of the leaf, seed and stem bark extracts were evaluated using ethanol-induced ulceration model in rats.Results: There we

Summary Gastrointestinal parasites which are responsible for soil-transmitted helminthiases cause illness globally. The control of helminthiasis depends on mass distribution of anthelmintics which has been reported for its resistance, toxicity and low efficacy. In this study, anthelmintic potentials of Gongronema latifolium and Picralima nitida which have wide application in traditional medicine were determined in vivo using Heligmosomoides bakeri a naturally occurring gastro-intestinal parasite of rodents that is closely related to highly prevalent human nematode parasites.
