Notes: values are presented as Mean ± SEM; n = 5. ∗Values are significantly different (p < 0.05) as compared to negative control. ∗∗Values are more significantly different (p < 0.01) as compared to negative control. Abbreviations: AW, Aloe weloensis; CQ, chloroquine; NC, negative control; SEM, standard error of mean.
