Conclusion: The leaf latex of A. sinana and isolated compounds, particularly aloinoside showed promising in vivo antimalarial activity. In light of the relative safety of the latex and isolated compounds, it can be concluded that the test substances could serve as potential candidates for the treatment of malaria. These results further illustrate that the reputed application of A. sinana leaves in the treatment of malaria in traditional medical practices is w.ell founded.
Genet Minale is a Lecturer in Ambo University in the Department of Pharmacy.
