A Water-Soluble Polysaccharide from the Fruit Bodies of Bulgaria inquinans (Fries) and Its Anti-Malarial Activity
Figure 7
Anti-malarial effect of BIWS-4b on
residual infection: (a) the mice were given BIWS-4b at 100 mg kg−1
and 200 mg kg−1 for 4, 6, 8, or 10 consecutive days; (b) the mice
were given BIWS-4b at 25, 50, 100, 200, 400 and 500 mg kg−1 for 8
consecutive days. Twenty-four hours after the final administration of drug or
saline, the mice were inoculated with P. yoelii. Seventy-two
hours after inoculation, parasitemia (%) was assessed in blood smears from tail
blood of each mouse. Each value represents the mean S.D. The significant values
are indicated by * .05 and ** .01.
