Graptophyllum pictum (GP) is used to treat anemiain some traditional communities. To understand this practice, we had prepared GP tea leaves for the management of phenylhydrazine-induced anemia in rats. An experimental protocol was built with six groups of six rats each. Rats in normal group were fed with standard food and water ad libitum. The rest of rats received an intraperitoneal injection of...

Background: Pain management remains challenging with current analgesics associated with significant adverse effects. Lactium, a milk protein hydrolysate containing α-casozepine with GABA-A receptor affinity, has unexplored analgesic potential. Methods: Twenty-four male Swiss albino mice (20-30g) were randomly divided into four groups (n=6): control (normal saline 10ml/kg), standard (pentazocin...

Introduction: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) represents a metabolic spectrum ranging from simple steatosis to cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Although classically associated with obesity, lean individuals particularly in Asian populations are increasingly affected due to higher visceral adiposity at lower body mass index (BMI). The Asia-Pacific guideline defines lean as BMI <2...

Gastric ulcers (GU) represent a world prevalence of 5-10% and a 10.4% prevalence in Cameroon. The frequent use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) is one of the major causes. The effective treatments available are expensive and have serious side effects. Treating GU with medicinal plants could be a safer alternative solution. In this work, we formulated an anti-ulcer syrup using th...

Ambrisentan is an endothelin receptor antagonist for rapid administration during early disease progression to provide therapeutic benefit. This study aimed to develop Ambrisentan as a fast-dissolving oral film (FDOF) and evaluate the physicochemical and performance characteristics of the formulated films. The FDOFs were prepared using film-forming polymers, including hydroxypropyl methylcellulose ...
