Abstract
Background: This study tested an in vivo model designed to evaluate the potential of HDI of chloroquine and aqueous leaf extract of Moringa oleifera to overcome multi-drug resistant Plasmodium yoeli yoeli infection in albino mice.
Methods: Using Rane’s test, 40 male albino mice were randomized into 10 groups of four mice each. Nine groups inoculated with multidrug-resistant strains of Plasmodium yoeli yoeli were treated with water, 150 mg/kg of Moleifera oleifera aqueous leaf extract, 1...

Potentiation of chloroquine by antiplasmodial fraction of moringa oleifera leaves in drug resistant Plasmodium berghei infection
Abstract
Background:This study assessed changes in blood chemistry associated with co-administration of chloroquine with antiplasmodial fraction of crude methanol extract of Moringa oleifera leaves.
Methods: Partial phytochemical profiling of antiplasmodial extract was done using standard methods. Using Rane’s test, 60 male albino mice were randomized into 10 groups of six mice each. Nine groups were inoculated with quinine resistant strains of Plasmodium berghei and treated with tween 80,10mg/k...
