Therapeutic evaluation of Terminalia bellirica (Combretaceae) dried fruits against Trypanosoma evansi

Limited classes of chemotherapy for the treatment of the disease is marred by resistance to available trypanocides coupled with trypanosomes resistant-strains. In this study, methanolic plant extract (MPE) of Terminalia belirica dried fruits were evaluated in vitro against Trypanosoma evansi at different concentrations (250-1000 µg/ml) on Vero cell line grown in Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM) supplemented with fetal calf serum (FCS) 20-40% and incubated at appropriate conditions. Infectivity assessment was done in two groups of mice (0.1 ml/mouse). In vivo test of MPE of T. belirica dried fruits at concentrations (12.5-200 mg/kg body weight) was administered in mice (six/concentration) intraperitoneally. MPE of T. belirica dried fruits extract exhibited antitrypanosomal activity in forms of immobilization and killing of trypanosomes. At 250 µg/ml, trypanosomes could not be detected in wells 4 h after incubation, which was comparable to diminazine aceturate at 50 µg/ml (standard drug) in 4 h. Trypanosomes counts decreased in concentration and time-dependent manner with significant difference (p<.05). In infectivity assessment, group of mice inoculated with contents of wells with apparently killed trypanosomes survived while, the other group of mice with reduced trypanosomes died of parasitemia. In vivo, infected extract treated mice overtly demonstrated trypanostatic effect. At 200 mg/kg body weight of the test extract, infected treated mice in this group survived for 7 days in comparison to 3 days in untreated negative control group 48 h post on set of paraitemia and commencement of treatment .
