Currently, there is sperse scientific reports found on the anti-malarial activity and bioactive compounds of the plant leaves. Thus the aim of the study was to investigate the anti- malarial properties of the methanol extract of Strophanthus hispidus (MESH) leaves and the possible elucidation of the bioactive compound(s). The percentage yield of the methanol extract of Strophanthus hispidus leaves obtained was 12.53%. The phytochemical compositions of the plant extract showed the presence of bioactive organic compounds such as alkaloids, flavonoids, terpenoids, steroids, phenols, saponins, tannins, soluble carbohydrates, reducing sugars and glycosides. The LD50 of the extract in mice was found to be above 5000 mg/kg b.w. Antimalarial activity of the crude extract of Strophanthus hispidus leaves showed that the extract was effective at various doses of 200, 400 and 800 mg/kg b.w. and showed a dose-dependent significant (p < 0.05) reduction in the parasitemia count of all the treatment groups when compared to the positive (untreated) control group. The P.berghei infected mice treated with various doses of the extract showed a significantly (p < 0.05) higher packed cell volume, red blood cell count and haemoglobin concentration compared to the positive control group. Conversely the packed cell volume, red blood cell count and haemoglobin concentration of the treatment groups showed significant (p < 0.05) decrease when compared to the negative control group. The mice treated with various doses of the extract showed significant (p < 0.05) reduction in the activities of liver marker enzymes alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) compared to the positive control group. Partitioning of the extract with different solvents gave the following percentage yields: n-Hexane (22%), dichloromethane (20%) and ethyl acetate (35.38%). Treatment with various doses (400 and 800 mg/kg b.w) of the fractions showed a dose dependent significant (p < 0.05) reduction in the parasitemia count of all the groups when compared to the untreated group. The P. berghei-infected mice treated with various doses of the fractions showed significantly (p < 0.05) higher packed cell volume, red blood cell count and haemoglobin concentration compared to the positive control group. The mice treated with various doses of the fractions showed significant (p < 0.05) reduction in the activities of liver marker enzymes (ALT, AST and ALP) compared to the positive control group. The animals treated with the n-Hexane fraction showed a non-significant difference (p > 0.05) in the AST and ALP activities when compared to the Negative control. Activities of some antioxidant enzymes such as superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase activity were found to be significantly (p < 0.05) higher in the groups treated with the fractions when compared to the positive control. There was a significant (p < 0.05) reduction in the formation of hemozoin in the groups treated with the non- polar fractions when compared to the positive control group. However comparatively the non- polar fractions were more effective than the polar fraction with n-Hexane fraction being the most active fraction. The calculated LC50 of the S. hispidus n-hexane fraction was found to be 245.5 µg/ml using Brine shrimp lethality Assay. Ninety-five fractions were obtained from column chromatography and combined based on their TLC profiles to give 9 fractions. The 9 fractions showed various levels of potency by inhibiting β-hematin synthesis. However, fractions 7-9 were the most potent fractions with percentage inhibition of 93%. Beta-setosterol-d-glucoside a steroid was identified as the active compound using 1H NMR, 13C NMR and IR spectra. ADME based on the Lipinski’s rule of 5 analysis revealed molecular weight (MW) of 576.86, hydrogen bond acceptor (HBA) of 6.0, hydrogen bond donor (HBD) of 4.0 and logP o/w 5.51. Beta-setosterol-d- glucose as the most active compound could take a lead in the discovery of new anti-malarial agent or used in combination therapy with artemisinin (ACT). vi TABLE OF CONTENTS Title Page i Certification ii Dedication iii Acknowledgements iv Abstract vi Table of Contents vii List of Figures xiv List of Tables xvii CHAPTER ONE: INTRODUCTION 1 1.1 Strophanthus hispidus 2 1.1.1 General Description of Strophanthus hispidus 2 1.1.2 Taxonomy of Strophanthus hispidus 4 1.1.3 Pharmacological/ Medicinal Importance of Strophantus hispidus 4 1.2 Phytochemicals 5 1.2.1 Alkaloids 5 1.2.2 Phenols 6 1.2.3 Flavonoids 7 1.2.4 Tannins 8 1.2.5 Terpenoids 8 1.2.6 Steroids 9 1.2.7 Saponins 9 1.2.8 Glycosides 10 vii 1.3 Malaria 11 1.3.1 Geographical Distribution and Populations at Risk 12 1.3.2 Causative Agents 13 1.3.3 Transmission and Biology of P.

The Ambalara Forest Reserve was created to ensure the supply of forest produce for the local people in perpetuity. It has therefore been managed naturally with little or no interventions for the benefit of the people domestically. 1.3 Property/Communal Rights There is no individual ownership of the land. The Wa Naa and his sub-chiefs, the Busa Naa and Kojokpere Naa have ownership rights over the land. 1.4 Administration 1.4.1 Political The Forest Reserve is within the jurisdiction of Wa District Assembly of Upper West Region.

Sur la base d'un inventaire floristique général (649 espèces) couvrant 17,5 ha dans 53 îlots, 207 espèces de lianes, herbacées grimpantes et arbustes grimpants ont été recensées, soit 32 % de la flore (représentant 135 genres et 45 familles). La plupart sont de petite taille, traînant sur le sol ou s'accrochant à des arbres et arbustes ne dépassant pas 8 rn de hauteur. Une analyse factorielle des correspondances a permis de caractériser chacun des trois types d'îlots existants (forêt littorale, forêt semi-caducifoliée et galerie forestière) par plusieurs groupements exclusifs de plantes grimpantes. La dominance des herbacées grimpantes et des arbustes grimpants (132 espèces) sur les lianes sensu stricto (75 espèces de ligneuses grimpantes) est révélatrice de forêts plutôt basses, à canopée irrégulière. Environ 60 % des plantes grimpantes du sud Togo sont communes aux forêts tropicales de la côte ouest africaine.

Tripathi1 1Department of Kriya Sharir, Faculty of Ayurveda, Institute of Medical Science, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, India, 2Department of Community Medicine, Division of Biostatics, Institute of Medical Science, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, India RESEARCH ARTICLE Abstract Prakriti is the nature, behavior, or psychosomatic constitution of an individual. It represents the doshic state of individual. Prakriti is an important tool which can affect the line of treatment/management, prognosis, diagnosis, and occurrence of the disease. Diabetes mellitus is a non-communicable, long-term metabolic disorder. Prakriti of an individual and their health along with occurrence, treatment/management as well as prognosis of a disease has a close relationship. Keeping these facts in the mind, such study has been designed to find possible relationship between level of insulin and blood glucose level in different prakriti persons. A total of 89 volunteers were registered for the purpose of the study having age group between 18 and 30 years. Prakriti was determined by pro forma designed for the same, based on Ayurvedic classics.
