This study was carried out to evaluate the aphrodisiac and antioxidant activities of aqueous methanolic extracts two plants used as in traditional medicine Kampemba municipality, Lubumbashi DR Congo. Aqueous root bark both Albizia adianthifolia Pericopsis angolensis were administered orally male Cavia porcellus before evaluating their physical behavior presence females testosterone, cholesterol triglyceride contents. The activity determined by DPPH method. At 200 250 mg kg-1 body weight (bw), exhibited a decrease rise time intromission an increase ejaculation time, ascending frequency, frequency testosterone compared control group that received sildenafil (10 bw) reference. A positive relationship between level has also been observed. observed species justify uses aphrodisiacs. Further work is needed order proceed isolation identification active compounds.
