In addition, the antioxidant, cytotoxic and <i>in vivo</i> acute oral toxic activities of PB extracts are also reported. The <i>in vitro</i> cytotoxic and enzymatic analysis reveals that the ethanol extracts of stems and leaves of PB showed good anti-snake venom activity against NK and TA venoms. In addition, the antioxidant result indicated that only the ethanol extract of leaves exhibited weak DPPH radical-scavenging activity. The ethanol whole-plant extract of PB also showed no cytotoxicity against four cell lines. Moreover, the <i>in vivo</i> acute oral toxicity result of the ethanol whole-plant extract showed that all treated rats did not exhibit abnormal toxic signs or deaths.</p></div> nk;pb;ta;dpph;ethanol;cytotoxic;venom proteins analysis;Peristrophe bivalvis extracts;Naja kaouthia 2015-05-05
