Abstract
Hexane and dichloromethane extracts of Platostoma africanum P. Beauv., a plant popularly employed in Nigeria in the treatment of rheumatic symptoms, were evaluated for anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities. Acute inflammatory effects were studied in the egg-albumin-induced rat paw edema. Both extracts produced significant (p < 0.05) and dose-dependent inhibition of the egg-albumin-induced pedal edema with the 400 mg kg(-1) dose being markedly better than piroxicam. The hexane and dichloromethane extracts also showed significant antioxidant activity with the dichloromethane extract exhibiting an IC(50) comparable to that of BHT, a synthetic antioxidant. Phytochemical investigation of the extracts afforded eight acidic pentacyclic triterpenes, namely, ursolic acid, oleanolic acid, epimaslinic acid, maslinic acid, corosolic acid, hyptadienic, euscaphic acid and tomentic acid, and a mixture of beta-sitosterol and stigmasterol. These constituents are reported for the first time in the genus.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
