Antiplasmodial activity of Vernonia cinerea Less (Asteraceae), a plant used in traditional medicine in Burkina Faso to treat malaria

The present study highlighted the very promising antiplasmodial activity of V. cinerea Less and suggested that this plant extracts merit further study about its in vivo anti Plasmodium berghei infected mice.

In vitro antiplasmodial activity of 18 plants used in Congo Brazzaville traditional medicine.

In Vitro Antiprotozoal and Cytotoxic Activity of Ethnopharmacologically Selected Guinean Plants

Results from an ethnobotanical survey may validate at least in part the traditional use of some of the Guinean plant species widely used in the traditional treatment of fever and/or malaria.

In vivo antiplasmodial activity of crude extracts of Vernonia cinerea Less (Asteraceae) against Plasmodium berghei infection in mice in Bobo-Dioulasso, Burkina Faso

The results suggest that the extract of Vernonia cinerea Less possesses antiplasmodial activity and these results may justify its use in ethnomedicine to treat malaria disease.

Synergistic in vitro antimalarial activity of plant extracts used as traditional herbal remedies in Mali

Three combinations demonstrate a strong, synergistic, inhibitory effect on in vitro plasmodial development and are devoid of cytotoxicity towards human cells, which justify their use in association in traditional medicine.

Natural products and the development of selective antiprotozoal drugs

The potential of natural plant products as a source of antiprotozoal drugs is discussed with respect to biochemical differences between protozoa and hosts with emphasis onalkaloids, terpenes, quinones and miscellaneous compounds.
