“…The use of decoctions of several Terminalia species is widespread in Africa and many species are known to contain antimicrobial constituents and activity (Burapadaja and Bunchoo, 1995;Sato et al, 1997;Silva et al, 1997;Fyhrquist et al, 2002;Gupta et al, 2002;Khan et al, 2002;Pawar and Pal, 2002;Suguna et al, 2002). Three studies on the antimicrobial activity of Terminalia sericea have been carried out.…”

The ethnopharmacology, chemistry and pharmacology of four Malian medicinal plants, Biophytum umbraculum, Burkea africana, Lannea velutina and Terminalia macroptera are reviewed. These plants are used by traditional healers against numerous ailments: malaria, gastrointestinal diseases, wounds, sexually transmitted diseases, insect bites and snake bites, etc. The scientific evidence for these uses is, however, limited. From the chemical and pharmacological evidence presented here, it seems possible that the use in traditional medicine of these plants may have a rational basis, although more clinical studies are needed.

“…The AESC was suspended in normal saline (0.9% NaCl solution) and administered by gavage (P.O.). The animals were observed continuously for 1 h after treatment, then intermittently for 4 h, and thereafter for over a period of 14 days after administration (Silva et al, 1997) for behavioural changes, signs of toxicity and/or death.…”
