Intraperitoneal acute toxicity
Mice were randomly divided into five groups of five animals
per group. Graded doses of the extract 250, 500, 1000
and 2000 mg/kg were administered intraperitoneally. The control
group was administered 0.1 ml of distilled water. Mice
were observed for 24 h post-treatment for mortality, behavioural
changes and signs of toxicity.
