TL;DR: It is concluded that meloxicam is of low toxicity toGyps vultures and that its use in place of diclofenac would reduce vulture mortality substantially in the Indian subcontinent.
Journal ArticleDOI
The antimicrobial, antioxidative, anti-inflammatory activity and cytotoxicity of different fractions of four South African Bauhinia species used traditionally to treat diarrhoea
Aroke Shahid Ahmed,E.E. Elgorashi,N. Moodley,Lyndy Joy McGaw,Vinasan Naidoo,Jacobus Nicolaas Eloff +5 more
TL;DR: The biological activities observed in Bauhinia species provide a scientific basis for the use of the plants in traditional medicines to treat diseases with multi-factorial pathogenesis such as diarrhoea, with each aspect of activity contributing to the ultimate therapeutic benefit of the Plants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cytotoxic, antimicrobial, antioxidant, antilipoxygenase activities and phenolic composition of Ozoroa and Searsia species (Anacardiaceae) used in South African traditional medicine for treating diarrhoea
TL;DR: In this article, Ozoroa and Searsia species were selected for in vitro evaluation of biological activities and cytotoxicity and phenolic-enriched leaf extracts were prepared using mixture of 1% HCl acidified 70% acetone and n-hexane.
Journal ArticleDOI
Polarity of extracts and fractions of four Combretum (Combretaceae) species used to treat infections and gastrointestinal disorders in southern African traditional medicine has a major effect on different relevant in vitro activities.
TL;DR: The activity of these fractions on different parameters that could be involved in factors associated with diarrhoea was investigated and some of the fractions had much higher antioxidant activity than the positive controls.
Book ChapterDOI
A cautionary tale: Diclofenac and its profound impact on vultures
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors detail the numerous lines of investigation that were urgently but scrupulously undertaken to establish the nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drug diclofenac, via ingestion of residues in livestock carcasses, as the cause of the mortality.
