<em>In vivo</em> antimalarial activity of the ethanolic leaf extract of <em>Hyptis suaveolens</em> poit on <em>Plasmodium berghei</em> in Mice

Abstract: The ethanolic leaf extract of Hyptis suaveolens was evaluated for antimalarial activity against Plasmodium berghei in infected mice. In the 4 day suppressive test, 60 male and female albino mice (weight: 18-23 g) were infected and treatment began immediately (Day 0), while administration started 72 hours post infection in the curative test. For each test, mice were divided into 5 groups of 12 animals; each group was administered one of the following: 10 mg/kg, 25 mg/kg and 50 mg/kg of the crude extract, 5 mg/k… Show more

“…It has been discovered that several plants have antimalarial properties (Ngbolua et al, 2011;Oluyemi and Samuel, 2017;Willcox et al, 2004). Extracts from bark of Cinchona officinalis and leaves of Artemisia annua are prototypical for the development of antimalarial drugs from natural products; while some plants have also demonstrated high level of antimalarial activities (Dawet et al, 2012;Adzu et al, 2008). However, resistance to currently available antimalarial agents has been reported (Wongsrichanalai and Meshnick, 2008).…”

“…The artesunate control was comparably highly active with IC 50 of 0.002 µg/mL. H. suaveolens has been reported elsewhere to show good antiplasmodial activity both in-vitro and in-vivo 32,33 . Ethanol and hydroethanol leaf extracts of H. suaveolens showed good antiplasmodial activity with an IC 50 < 6.25 µg/mL on the chloroquine-resistant (Dd2) strain of P. falciparum 34 .…”
