The combination of 0.5% Abrus precatorius seed and 2% Cassia senna fruit in the diet of Lohmann broiler chicks caused severe lesions, reduced weight gain, inefficient feed utilization and anemia. Organ lesions correlated with changes in clinical chemistry and hematology. Tissue recovery was not complete 2 w following withdrawal of the test diet. Feeding 0.5% Abrus or 2% Senna diets alone produced decreased growth and tissue lesions that did not return to normal 2 w following return to normal rations.

Schistosomiasis, which causes over 200 000 deaths annually, has since the 1970s been controlled by praziquintel. The reliance on a single drug to combat schistosomiasis, and reports of laboratory resistance to the drug, has created an urgent need in the scientific community to develop new chemotherapies to complement or supplement praziquantel. Medicinal plants are a potential reservoir of compounds with schistosomicidal activity.

Background: Chronic inflammation is closely related to the occurrence and progression of many cancers, especially colorectal cancer (CRC), which can be triggered by repeated and sustained induction of colitis in mice. CRC is a typical type of cancer that can be caused by inflammation and NLRP3 inflammasome dysregulation plays a certain role in the pathogenesis of CRC.
Purpose: As an edible Chinese medicine, Abrus cantoniensis Hance (ACH) has both anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor activities.

Ten compounds, six extracts and five fractions obtained from three Nigerian plants were assayed for their in vitro antitrypanosomal and antileishmanial activities. Each plant was extacted with hexane, ethyl acetate, and methanol. Isolated compounds were characterized and identified based on their NMR chemical shifts and comparison to literature reports.

Article Synopsis
- In Guangzhou and Guangxi, China, Abrus cantoniensis Hance (AH) is recognized for its liver-protective benefits, commonly featured in herbal products, while it is often confused with its similar counterpart, Abrus mollis Hance (AMH).
- The study aims to identify morphological differences, analyze chemical compositions, and evaluate the hepatoprotective effectiveness of AH and AMH to support their use and improve clinical safety.
- Researchers collected samples and used advanced chemical analysis techniques, revealing significant differences in morphology and identifying 50 compounds across both plants, helping to establish clear criteria for distinguishing between AH and AMH.
