Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the antitrypanosomal effects of Crossopteryx febrifuga, a plant used in traditional African medicine to treat trypanosomiasis, and identifies active compounds in its extracts.
- The researchers prepared four extracts using different solvents and found that the dichloromethane extract was the most effective against Trypanosoma brucei brucei.
- Through metabolic profiling, 33 compounds were identified in the most active fractions, with maslinic, corosolic, and oleanolic acids linked to the observed antitrypanosomal activity, supporting the plant's traditional medicinal use.
is a medicinal plant widely used in ethnoveterinary medicine to treat digestive parasitosis whose extracts were shown to be active against gastrointestinal nematodes of domestic ruminants. The objective of our study was to identify compounds responsible for this activity. Column fractionation was performed, and the activity of the fractions was assessed on and as well as their cytotoxicity on WI38 fibroblasts.

Medicinal plants continue to be used alone or in combination with veterinary drugs to treat animal ailments, especially in developing countries where livestock farmers often lack access to modern veterinary services and drugs. In addition, digestive parasitosis remain a major constraint for small ruminant livestock. The objective of this study was to screen the anthelmintic activity of the main plants used in the treatment of the digestive parasitosis of small ruminants in Benin.
