Antimalarial Activity of Aqueous and 80% Methanol Crude Seed Extracts and Solvent Fractions of Schinus molle Linnaeus (Anacardiaceae) in Plasmodium berghei-Infected Mice

Figure 3

The effect of solvent fraction of S. molle (A = CF, B = BF, and C = AF) on packed cell volume of P. berghei-infected mice. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM (n = 6); TW: negative control, 2% Tween 80; DW: distilled water CQ, positive control, chloroquine base; CF: chloroform fraction; BF: butanol fraction; AF: aqueous fraction; PCV: packed cell volume; D0: pretreatment value on day 0; and D4: posttreatment value on day four. The numbers in rectangles between graphs show the change in mean PCV between D0 and D4.
