| Popis: |
Many medicinal plants are now being chosen because the treatment is safer and cheaper. Artocarpus lacucha Buch-Ham is a plant with many pharmacological activities and is efficacious; its safety has not been studied. Acute oral toxicity evaluation followed Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development guidelines using the fixed dose method. The evaluation began with a preliminary test, then a primary test with three groups: a 2000 mg/Kg BW dose test group, a 5000 mg/Kg BW dose test group, and a control group. The results of visual observations, haematological and clinical examinations, and histological examination of organs (liver, spleen, kidneys, lungs and heart) showed no toxicity in the animals, and they did not die during testing. The findings of this study support the safety of Artocarpus lacucha Buch-Ham leaf ethanol extract, which did not produce harmful results in acute toxicity tests. |
