Abstract. A study on physicochemical characteristics of Ceiba petandra and Lannea kerstingii stem bark extracts cream being developed for the treatment of topical dermatophytic infections has been carried out to assure safe, effectiveness and stability during storage and usage. The stem barks of Ceiba petandra and Lannea kerstingii were extracted with methanol and ethyl acetate respectively. Th...

The chemical composition, main physicochemical properties, and nutritional value of seed flour and seed oil of Lannea kerstingii were studied. The results indicated that seeds contained 3.61% moisture, 57.85% fat, 26.39% protein, 10.07% carbohydrates, and 2.08% ash. Potassium was the predominant mineral, followed by magnesium and calcium. The essential amino acids were at higher levels than the...

Introduction: Stem bark of Lannea kerstingii is used in Togo for its anti-anemic effect. The aim this study was to verify the efficacy extracts L. kerstingii’s treatment anemia and explore mechanism action. Materials Method: stem collected city Kpalimé, located at 120 km northwest Lomé. Hydromethanolic extract obtained by evaporation. Two protocols were carried out 20 twelve-week-old rats that ...

Plant products provide a vast source of therapeutics, but not without toxicity. This study evaluated the in vitro cytotoxic and proliferative activity selected plant extracts on human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). The PBMCs from healthy donors were exposed to varying concentrations (25 µg/ml, 50 100 µg/ml 200 µg/ml) aqueous young leaves Mangifera indica (MI) stem barks Commiphora ...
