The green synthesis of nanoparticles has received increasing attention due to the growing demand to produce safe, cost-effective, and eco-friendly technology for nanomaterials synthesis. We report on the use of aqueous Croton bonplandianum (Family: Euphorbiaceae, Genus: Croton) leaves extract for
OBJECTIVE
Croton membranaceus root and leaf extracts are used in the Bahamas to aromatize tobacco, in Nigeria to improve digestion, and in Ghana, for benign prostate hyperplasia. Despite claims of success there is paucity of information on its toxicity. The aim of this study was to determine if
The aqueous extract of Croton cuneatus Klotz. (Euphorbiaceae), was tested for its antinociceptive effects using chemical and thermal test models in mice. Anti-inflammatory activity was determined in Sprague-Dawley rats in a model of acute plantar inflammation induced by bovine serum albumin. Croton
OBJECTIVE
The aim of the present investigation was to develop a new ocular inflammation model in the rabbit by comparison of the inflammation response induced by the topical application of several irritating agents (carrageenan, Freund's adjuvant, alkali and croton oil).
METHODS
The following
Subchronic toxicity study of the crude root extract of Croton zambesicus (27-81 mg/kg), which is used traditionally as malarial remedy, was carried out in rodents to evaluate the safety profile. Effect of the extract on body weights, haematological indices as well as liver and kidney functions and
The effects of antitumor drugs of croton alkaloids (CA) extracted from croton, and cisplatin on the structure of human erythrocyte membrane and bovine serum albumin (BSA) were studied with the techniques of circular dichroism, fluorescence spectroscopy and ultraviolet absorption. From measuring
