Dental caries has been reported to touch almost half of the world’s population, making it one of the most prevalent disease conditions in the world. Studies have shown that chewing sticks could be useful in cleaning of teeth and could offer protection against dental conditions, including caries. Given the increasing usage of chewing sticks and their unstandardized nature, in this study we investigated the acute toxicity, genotoxic effects on liver and kidney, and phytochemical constituents of chewing sticks from Zanthoxylum zanthoxyloides root and Distemonanthus benthamianus stem, widely used in West Africa. Chemical tests showed the presence of saponins, alkaloids, flavonoids, …

The acute toxicity test and antiinflammatory effect of methanolic and n-hexane extracts Carica papaya L leaf have been studied. The results of phytochemical screening show that papaya leaf contains alkaloid, steroid, and flavonoid compound. Flavonoid and alkaloid extracted from methanolic extract of papaya leaf and steroid extracted from n-hexane extract of papaya leaf. The acute toxicity test of methanolic and n-hexane extracts Carica papaya L leaf have been studied on rat with giving a single dose of samples. The aim of this work was to investigate the behavioral responses (pharmacological profile), the development of body weight and mortality for 14 …

The present study was aimed to predict the level of toxicity of aqueous fraction of Impatiens balsamina by acute toxicity study using OECD guideline 425. Female Sprague Dawley 8-12 week and weight between 140-170 gram were used, the amount of experimental rats were 10 rats. Rats were sequentially administered all the fraction in single dosage (limit test) of 2000 mg/kg body weight and 5000 mg/kg of body weight. All the animals were individually studied for mortality, wellness parameters, food consumption,water consumption, body weight. Histopathological examination was done on the liver and kidney. The result of this study showed that no …
