Anti-venom activity of ethanolic extract of bridelia ferruginea leaves against naja nigricollis venom
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Bridelia ferruginea plant as anti-snake venom activity against the venom of a clinically important snake, Naja nigricollis was investigated. The Bridelia ferruginea leaves were dried and extracted with ethanol and bioactive compounds such as tannins alkaloids,saponnin,flavonoids,steroids,terpenoids were determined by standard method. The effect of the extract on some selected enzymes activity in the serum/liver of albino rats induced with the snake venom was studied and the histopathology. The result showed that Bridelia ferruginea leaf extract has little anti-snake venom activity. Possibly, the plant extract could be more effective in vivo if the experiment model is modified to stimulate actual life experience.

Neutralization of Naja naja venom induced lethality, edema and myonecrosis by ethanolic root extract of Coix lacryma-jobi
Coix lacryma-jobi, commonly known as job's tear, is a tall grain-bearing tropical plant of the family Poaceae. The ethanolic root extract (ERE) of the plant was investigated for the first time for anti-venom activity against Indian cobra Naja naja venom. In-vitro studies were conducted to determine neutralization of phospholipase A2 (PLA2) activity of the Naja naja venom by the ERE. ERE showed ...
متن کاملThe antisnake venom activities of Parkia biglobosa (Mimosaceae) stem bark extract.
Snake bites in rural Nigeria are commonly treated with plant extracts. We have studied the ability of one such traditionally used plant (Parkia biglobosa; [Jacq.] Benth., Mimosaceae) to reduce the effects of two snake venoms (Naja nigricollis, and Echis ocellatus) in several experimental models. A water-methanol extract of P. biglobosa stem bark significantly (p<0.001) protected the chick biven...

The objective of the study is to investigate whether the Hibiscus aethiopicus L. plant has neutralization activity against venoms of two clinically important snakes. The H. aethiopicus was dried and extracted with water. Different assays were performed to evaluate the plant's acute toxicity and its anti-snake venom activities. The results showed that H. aethiopicus extract alone had no effect o...

PURPOSE The present investigation was aimed at evaluating the anti-ophidian properties of ethnomedicinal herb Leucas aspera against Indian cobra, Naja naja venom enzymes. METHODS Methanolic extract of Leucas aspera was evaluated, in vitro, for its ability to inhibit the major enzyme activities of Naja naja venom including protease, phospholipase A2, hyaluronidase and hemolytic factors. The ty...
