Although herbal medicines are less potent compared to synthetic drugs in some cases, but still considered toxic side effects. Cryptolepis sanguinolenta stem ethanol extract (CSSE) is a reportedly antimalarial plant with dearth of data on the safety and efficacy brain heart animals. This study evaluated CSSE animal models. Thirty albino rats were randomly distributed into five groups (n=6). Group A=distilled water (control), Groups B-E=250, 500, 1000, 2000 mg/kg body weight extract,...
Traditional water purification methods are increasingly inadequate, leading to the exploration of novel approaches. This study investigated application plant-derived nanomaterials for heterogeneous photocatalytic treatment using ZnO-Vernonia amygdalina nanoparticles (ZVAN). The evaluated efficacy ZVAN in purifying Asa River (ARW) and assessed its toxicological profile rats. Synthesized was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) scanning electron microscopy (SEM). ARW samples were collected...
A potential antimalarial prospect should have high efficacy with low toxicity. SynriamTM drug has been proven to be safe and effective for the treatment of malaria in human dearth information on rats. This study investigated its toxicity from prolonged administration lipid profiles haematological indices Thirty-five Wistar rats were randomized into five groups (A – E) seven each. Animals group (control) received 0.5 mL distilled water, while B, C, D, E respectively 4.0, 8.0, 16.0 32.0 mg/kg...
