The aqueous extract of A. afra displayed inhibition of HIV-1 integrase ˃52.16 percent at 0.5 mg/mL increasing to 72.89 percent at 4 mg/ml of the extract. A. muricata was cytotoxic at an IC50 of 30 μg/mL and 77 μg/mL on Chang Liver and HepG2 cells respectively, whilst A. afra aqueous and ethanol extracts were not cytotoxic to both cell lines. The ethanolic extract of A. muricata showed both antagonistic and synergistic properties at various IC values, when used in conjunction with rifampicin. A. afra ethanolic extract interrupted GST activity while aqueous extracts of A. afra and A. muricata had a slight effect. All extracts interrupted CYP3A4 activity, however the ethanolic extracts of A. muricata and A. afra showed greater inhibition than the aqueous extract of A. afra. These extracts should be investigated further as they could be an important source of compounds for treatment of M. tuberculosis and HIV respectively.]]> Wed 12 May 2021 19:09:52 SAST ]]> In vitro anti-HIV activities of Sutherlandia frutescens and Lobostemon trigonum extracts https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:11072 Wed 12 May 2021 18:54:25 SAST ]]> An assessment of the in vitro neuroprotective potential of selected Algerian and South African medicinal plant extracts https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:26411 Wed 12 May 2021 17:14:23 SAST ]]> A biochemical study of the antidiabetic and anticogulant effects of Tulbaghia Violacea https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:10311 Wed 12 May 2021 15:44:28 SAST ]]> Production of biologically active recombinant HIV-1 protease and intehrase for the purpose of screening medicianl plant extracts https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:10325 Tue 14 Feb 2017 03:36:29 SAST ]]> In vitro testing to investigate the anticoagulant/antithrombotic and antidiabetic biological activity of Leonotis Leonurus https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:10331 Thu 13 May 2021 16:30:28 SAST ]]>
