The kinetics of reversal of pre-sickled erythrocytes by the aqueous extract of Cajanus cajan seeds.

The aqueous methanol extract (3:1, v/v) of the seeds of Cajanus cajan was investigated for antisickling properties. The extract possessed significant antisickling activity and was found to be concentration-dependent. The kinetics of reversal of presickled erythrocyte (HbSS) cells using the extract at 0.
