(Dilleniaceae) has been used in folk medicine to treat inflammation and pain; however, studies evaluating its toxicity potential, as well as its effects on anxiety and depression, are scarce. This study investigated the toxicological profile of an ethanolic extract from leaves of (EEDd), and its effects on anxiety and depression models in mice. Male and female mice received either a single dose (500, 1000 or 2000 mg/kg) or repeated doses (75, 150 or 300 mg/kg) of EEDd by oral gavage.

Non-invasive collection of swab samples for leishmaniasis diagnosis has been a promising alternative. This study analyzed the positivity of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for the diagnosis of canine leishmaniasis in conjunctiva samples.

- The aqueous extract of Ocimum selloi (alfavaca) is traditionally used for pain and inflammation, prompting research into its properties.
- The study analyzed the chemical composition and anti-inflammatory effects of the leaves' aqueous extract (OSAE) and essential oil (OSEO) using various tests on mice models.
- Results show that both OSAE and OSEO have significant anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving effects, with specific dosages effectively reducing inflammation and sensitivity, validating their popular medicinal use.
Ethnopharmacological Relevance: In the State of Mato Grosso do Sul, the watery sap of Doliocarpus dentatus is used to alleviate thirst, and the leaves of this species are used to relieve pain and swelling associated with inflammatory processes.
Aim Of The Study: This study aimed to analyze the compounds of the leaves from the aqueous extract of D. dentatus (EADd) and evaluate its toxicogenetic and pain relief effects in animal models.
