The effect on blood clotting of some west African plants used against snakebite
1994
Houghton, P.J. | Skari, K.P.
Aqueous extracts of the bark of Schumanniophyton magnificum and the leaves of Mucuna pruriens var. utilis, Strophanthus gratus and Strophanthus hispidus show a dose related ability to prolong the time taken to clot for blood treated with a standardised dose of the venom of Echis carinatus. Strophanthus hispidus was shown to be the most potent of the plants tested. The dose-response profiles obtained showed that the increased clotting time was due to different processes for the different plant extracts.
