Laxative activities of Cassia sieberiana and Senna obtusifolia
BACKGROUND: The root and stem bark of Cassia sieberiana DC. (Caesalpiniaceae) and the root of Senna obtusifolia (Linn) Irwin and Barneby (Caesalpiniaceae), used for constipation in Nigeria, were assayed for laxative properties in male albino rats using the official senna leaf (Senna alexandrina Mill. family Caesalpiniaceae) as the reference standard.

Toxicity potentials of Senna podocarpa (Guill.et Perr.) Lock pods in rodents
The effects of acute (LD50) and sub-chronic doses of the aqueous infusion of Senna podocarpa (Guill. et Perr.) Lock pod on the liver, kidney, brain and testis of mice and rats were studied, respectively. The acute toxicity studies did not produce any observable lethal effects and the calculated LD50 was 6.6 g/kg. The histopathological analysis of the liver, kidney, brain and testis showed no adverse effect. Behavioral observations and the histopa…
