  • Title: Molluscicidal activity and clinico-pathological effect of Agave lophantha.
    Author: el-Sayed MM, Abdel-Hadi M, el-Nahas HA.
    Journal: Arch Pharm Res; 1991 Mar; 14(1):81-6. PubMed ID: 10319127.
    Abstract:
    Dry powder and different extracts of Agave lophantha were tested against Biomphalaria alexandrina. The results showed that the butanol extract has high molluscicidal activity. The activity of the dry powder has been found to be stable under the effect of some simulated field conditions. Also the toxicological effect of the plant on mice was tested through determination of certain parameters such as total protein, aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase and acid phosphatase enzymes as well as histopathological study on liver and kidney.
