Isolation and characterisation of an antisickling agent from Fagarazanthoxyloides root

Author(s): Sofowora EA, Isaac-Sodeye WA, Ogunkoya LO

Abstract

Context: The resistance of Plasmodium species to many available antimalarials calls for a continuous search for newer antimalarial agents. One possible source of new antimalarials is from natural sources such as Fagara zanthoxyloides Lam (Rutaceae), a medicinal plant used traditionally for treating malaria in South-Eastern Nigeria, Uganda and Asia.

Objectives: To investigate the application of methanol extracts of F. zanthoxyloides in combating malaria infection and its associated disorders.
