“…It's been considered that plant own its hepatoprotective activity to the anti-oxidant nature of its phyto-chemicals which inhibits the action of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and oxidative stress. Nimesulide is an antiinflammatory drug which leads to significant decrease in enzyme superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione disulphide reductase (GSH) and CAT thus leading to increase in oxidative stress on liver and hence causing hepatic damage 9,11. PA is found to be prevention of Nimesulide induced hepatotoxicity 13,14 . Also the leaf extract is reported to show action in acetaminophen induced hepatic damage while seeds reported to show their activity in Chloroform induced hepatic injury 9.…”

“…The active components in the crude extract may be acting synergistically to produce antimicrobial effects (Elloff, 1998;Joshua and Takudzwa, 2013). According to Magaji and Yaro (2006) as well as Kawo et al (2009) (Pahlaviani et al, 2013;Aiyelero et al,2012;Ugoh et al, 2014 ;Kamur et al, 2010 ;Builders et al, 2012 ;Akinpelu et al, 2008 ;Elloff, 1998 ;Joshua and Takudzwa, 2013;Joseph and Raj, 2011;Murthy et al, 2003). Most of the plants identified to treat bacterial diseases are also inventoried by Ogni et al (2014) in a previous study to treat parasitic diseases.…”
