cryptostegia grandiflora/edema

Inflammatory responses have been described as occurring after exposure to some latex materials. In this study pro-inflammatory activity in the latex of Cryptostegia grandiflora was investigated. The soluble proteins of the latex (CgLP) were isolated from the whole latex and evaluated by in vivo

BACKGROUND Despite Cryptostegia grandiflora Roxb. ex R. Br. (Apocynaceae) leaves are widely used in folk Caribbean Colombian medicine for their anti-inflammatory effects, there are no studies that support this traditional use. Therefore, this work aimed to evaluate the effect of the total extract

Here, we aimed to determine the toxicity of Cryptostegia venusta in goats and rats. We orally administered a single 60 g dose of shredded C. venusta leaves per kilogram of body weight to three goats. The animals were necropsied after death, and tissue sections were collected and routinely processed
