摘要

Objective:To investigate the antimalarial activity of ethanol extract of Aspilin africana (A.africana) leaf.Methods:The ethanol extract of A.africana leaf(100-400 mg/kg) was screened for blood schizonticidal effect against chloroquine-sensitive Plasmodium berghei(P. berghei) in mice both in early and established models of antimalarial studies.Results:The leaf extract exhibited significant(P0.05) antiplasmodial activity in 4-day early infection and in established infection tests with a considerable mean survival time comparable to that of standard drug,chloroquine(10 mg/kg).Conclusions:The findings show thai ethanol extract of A.africana leaf possesses potent antiplasmodial activity which justify the use in ethnomedicine and can be developed in malaria therapy.
