Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are the treatment options for relieving pain. However, long-term use can trigger gastrointestinal bleeding. Therefore, alternative analgesics which have the same therapeutic effect with lower side effects are needed. Limau (Citrus amblycarpa) is an empirical drug for tingling and cramping. The aim of the study is to determine the analgesic activity of ethanol extract of C. amblycarpa fruit peel. The method used in testing analgesic activity is the Hot Plate method. The study was conducted by dividing 30 mice into 6 groups. The group given CMC-Na 1% was used as a negative control, the group given suspension of sodium diclofenac dose of 6.5 mg/kg of body weight was used as a positive control, and the group given suspension of ethanol extract of C. amblycarpa fruit peel with dose variations 100, 300 and 600 mg/kg of body weight. The test animals were placed on top of the Hot Plate with a temperature of 70°C at 30 minutes after giving suspension test and the response time of mice to heat was observed every 30 minutes for 3 hours with cut off time 15 second. Based on the test results, it can be concluded that the administration of ethanol extract of C. amblycarpa fruit peel with 100, 300 and 600 mg/kg of body weight gave analgesic activity on mice compared to the negative controls (CMC-Na 1%).   Keywords: C. amblycarpa, Fruit Peel, Analgesics, Hot Plate

Antidiabetic activity of Vernonia amygdalina and its possible synergism with glibenclamide was checked. Forty eight rats were used for the research, for hypoglycermic study of V. amygdalina alone, they were grouped into five of six rats each. Group 1 was the negative control and was administered distilled water orally. Groups 2, 3, and 4 were the treatment groups which received 100, 200 and 300 mg/kg body weight of the V. amygdalina extract respectively orally by intubation. Group 5 was the positive control group which received a known antidiabetic drug, glibenclamide. Diabetes was induced with alloxan. For the synergism study, another 18 rats grouped into 3 of six rats each was used. Both groups of glibenclamide only and glibenclamide plus V. amygdalina extract were dosed for 14 days orally by intubation, thereafter were sacrificed and blood collected from heart for analysis. There were 5 replicates grouped by weight throughout the study and both single and synergistic studies had the same controls. Effect of V. amygdalina extract was checked on blood glucose and its possible synergism with glibenclamide. All results in treatment groups were compared with the normal control at statistical confidence of p<0.05. Result shows that V. amygdalina extract reduced blood glucose level in the test groups as dose of extract increased. Combination of V. amygdalina with glibenclamide demonstrated further deduction in blood glucose levels in the treatment rats groups. Therefore addition of V. amygdalina into glibenclamide increased efficacy in the diabetic rats. The interaction between V. amygdalina and glibenclamide in this work was additive and therefore synergistic.

Abstract Objective:This was to determine levels of heavy metal expression following Tamarindus indica activity in neonatal rats. Pregnant timed rats were divided into 5 groups (n =4) and neonatal rats were used. Group 1 (negative control), Groups II-V were experimental groups treated with 100 mg/kg of AlCl3 s/c. Group II (positive control), Groups III and IV receiving 400mg/kg and 800mg/kg of Tamarindus indica respectively, and Group 5 receiving 30mg/kg of Vitamin E (comparative control) for 3 weeks. Brain metal; copper, zinc, iron, and calcium (Cu, Zn, Fe, and Ca respectively) quantification was done using atomic absorption spectrophotometer. Results:Tamarindus indica contained 61.6% Oleic Acid, n-Hexadecanoic acid 11.03%, Phenol, 3,5-bis (1,1-dimethyl ethyl)- 8.48 %, and cis-9-Hexadecenal 7.79% as the main components in Tamarindus indica. The differential expression of brain metals in the treatment groups on post gestation day 7 and 21 revealed significantly high mean Zn, Fe, and Cu and lower Ca expression in the positive control compared to the negative control; but significantly lower mean Zn, Fe, and Cu and higher Ca expression was observed in the group treated with 400 and 800mg/kg bw of EATI and comparative control when compared to values observed in positive control.
