Abstract | Purpose: Increasing resistance to the currently available antimalarial drugs is a leading cause of failure to control malaria. Plant-based medicines are commonly used to manage numerous infections, making medicinal plants the best possible source of alternative antimalarial drugs. The objective of this study is therefore to identify antimalarial potential of Prunus cerasoides. Methods: Here, anti-plasmodial activity of crude methanolic and aqueous extracts of Prunus cerasoides and fractions obtained by reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography (RPHPLC) were tested for in vitro activity against chloroquine sensitive Plasmodium falciparum 3D7 and chloroquine resistant INDO & Dd2 strains using SYBR Green I assay. The cytotoxic activity of active extracts/fractions was evaluated against mammalian cell lines-HeLa using MTT assay. Results: Aqueous extracts of leaves, wood, bark and fruit of P. cerasoides showed poor to no activity up to 100 µg/ml, however methanolic extract showed moderate (IC Conclusion: Findings of this study elucidate the anti-plasmodial potential of P. cerasoides and validate its traditional usage suggesting that it could be a possible source of a drug candidate in combating this disease. |
