the absence of acetogenins in the plant extract used in this work is a fact somewhat motivating, because it makes of A.
muricata aqueous extract a safe drug to treat target animals if compared to plant extracts prepared with organic solvents presuming the acetogenin extraction. In fact, the results of clinical, hematological and biochemical analyses showed no significant differences among sheep orally treated with saline and with the ones treated with higher doses of A. muricata aqueous extract in preliminary toxicological experiments in acute scale (Data not showed)
