Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Summary Gedunin from Cedrela odorata (Meliaceae), a potent in vitro antimalarial agent, was investigated for its in vivo efficacy in CD‐1 mice infected with Plasmodium berghei . When orally administered at 50 mg kg‐1 day‐1 for 4 days, gedunin was able to suppress the parasitaemia level by 44%. However, no clear dose‐response effects were observed in the 0–100 mg kg‐1 day‐1 dose range. Preliminary pharmacokinetics in Sprague‐Dawley rats showed poor absorption. However, a binary treatment of 50 mg kg‐1 day‐1 gedunin with 25 mg kg‐1 day‐1 dillapiol, a cytochrome P450 inhibitor, increased parasitaemia clearance in mice to 75%. A clear dose‐response was observed in the 0–50 mg kg‐1 day‐1 gedunin dose range when administration was combined with 25 mg kg‐1 day‐1 dillapiol. In addition, 7‐methoxygedunin, a semi‐synthetic derivative which is more stable to degradation than gedunin, suppressed the level in mice by 67% at 50 mg kg‐1 day‐1. When administered at this dose in combination with 25 mg kg‐1 day‐1 dillapiol, clearance increased to 80%. These results demonstrate the potentialefficacy of antimalarial drugs and phytomedicines based on gedunin and the value of the combination therapy.

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
