چکیده
This study evaluated the combination interactive effects of G. latifolium leaves and P. nitida seed extracts using a metabolic glucose tolerance test. The plant samples were extracted separately cold maceration their acute toxicities determined. Dose-response tolerant tests both plants done 2 g/kg load monitored over 0 – 1h. A 41% effect isobologram was used to determine needed dose combinations according principle Loewe’s additivity model. pairs combined indices calculated nature interaction.

It has been established that Picralima nitida has antitussive effect. This study therefore aimed at determining the possible mode of antitussive and expectorant activity of an ethanolic seed extract of P. nitida (PNE). The muco-suppressant, mast cell stabilization, and the anxiolytic effects of PNE were ascertained using ammonium chloride-induced phenol red secretion in BALB/c mice; compound 48...
