Comparison of the antimalarial activity of a Colombian traditional Uitoto remedy with laboratory preparations

CONCLUSION: Pharmacological activities suggest that both the original remedy (prepared according to traditional pharmacopeia) and the extracts obtained by percolation extraction exhibit relevant antiparasitic activity. C. toxicofera should therefore be considered for the elaboration of an improved traditional medicine by implementing toxicological studies and carefully following quality control guidelines for its preparation.PMID:34290162 | DOI:10.4103/0972-9062.310868
