Abstract

GIT effects of Melos Conquer Mixture were investigated –using albino wister rats. Conquer Mixture was administered orally at different concentrations whereas the control group received water. The experiment lasted from 3 to 21 days. Pathological examination was carried out on the dead animals. The animals showed (1) loss of weight and appetite (2) weakness (3) faeces was soft (4) out of 10 animals which received 1.20ml/kg died on day 5(5) the Git of the dead rats was virtually empty except in the colon. (6) pieces from various parts of GIT revealed evidence of acute and sub acute inflamatory cellular reactions. The results indicate that Conquer Mixture may be toxic to the gastrointestinal tract and suggest that a re-evaluation of the therapeutic usefulness of the drug in the management of malaria is warranted.
