Extraction yields and antiplasmodial activities of the essential oils

Essential oil sample Extraction yielda (% w/w) ICb50 (μg/mL) ± SD
C. patens Stem bark 0.23 9.19 ± 0.08
Leaf 0.19 15.19 ± 0.13
U. pierreanum Stem bark 0.10 6.08 ± 0.01
Leaf 0.30 13.96 ± 0.05

IC50 values are means from triplicate experiments

SD standard deviation

aEssential oils were obtained from plant materials by hydrodistillation, and the yields were calculated in percentage relative to the weight of starting material

bThe oils were evaluated against the W2 strain of P. falciparum
