Most dangerous and prevalent form of malaria is caused by the Plasmodium falciparum mediated malaria and poses the greatest threat to the humans. Emergence of multi drug resistant parasite hindered the prevention of malaria burden worldwide. This study is mainly focused on the erythrocytic membrane stabilisation using regionally available medicinal plant extracts and its corelation with the oxidative stress generated during the intracellular erythrocytic stages development of Plasmodia. The results disclosed that antioxidant potential of the medicinal plants can diminish the reactive oxygen species generation leads to restrict the plasmodial invasion into erythrocytes ultimately decreases the parasitic load. Hence, the evidence of the effective phytochemicals present in the selected medicinal plants can be the promising anti-plasmodial drug candidates as a future perspective.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
