Antimalarial Efficacy and Chemopreventive Capacity of Bamboo Leaf (<i>Bambusa vulgaris</i>) in Malaria Parasitized Mice

Abstract: ABSTRACT:The exploration of natural products for the treatment of malarial has been the main focus of scientists in the past decades. In this research, the phytochemical constituents, antimalarial effect, and chemopreventive capacity of aqueous leaf extract of Bambusa vulgaris in malaria parasitized mice was investigated. A total of 30 male mice, grouped into six (n=5), was used. The results obtained showed that B. vulgaris is rich in flavonoid (262.08 µg CE/g) and phenol (0.91 g AAE/ 100 g). There was signifi… Show more

“…However, treatment with Prosopis africana fraction at 12.5 mg/kg bw led to significant ameliorative effects, restoring the altered levels of serum urea, creatinine, and uric acid. This outcome is consistent with the observations of Anigboro (2018), who noted a normalization of these parameters in malaria-infected mice treated with various plant extracts.…”
