<title><b><i>Hoslundia opposita</i> vahl (Lamiaceae) leaves, chemosensitivity evaluation on <i>plasmodium falciparum</i></b></title>
<abstract>Malaria remains a public health problem because of the consequences it has. Existing treatments are becoming increasingly ineffective. It is therefore urgent to find new antimalarial drugs. Medicinal plants appear to be an important source to explore. Thus, this study on  lessThan i greaterThan Hoslundia opposita lessThan /i greaterThan  will provide a scientific basis for its traditional use. Indeed,  lessThan i greaterThan Hoslundia opposita lessThan /i greaterThan  has always been used in traditional medicine by naturopaths for the treatment of malaria. This study is part of a vast program of extensive medicinal plant science. The objective of this work is to evaluate  lessThan i greaterThan in vitro  lessThan /i greaterThan chemosensitivity of the aqueous and hydroethanolic extracts of  lessThan i greaterThan Hoslundia opposita lessThan /i greaterThan  (Lamiaceae) leaves on  lessThan i greaterThan Plasmodium falciparum lessThan /i greaterThan  by maturation tests and RSA  lessThan i greaterThan ex vivo lessThan /i greaterThan . The maturation test of the different extracts from the five clinical isolates of  lessThan i greaterThan Plasmodium falciparum lessThan /i greaterThan  showed antimalarial activity, with a promising effect of the aqueous extract (IC lessThan sub greaterThan 50 lessThan /sub greaterThan  = 12.66 μg/mL). The two extracts obtained by hydroethanolic partition have a moderate effect with IC lessThan sub greaterThan 50 lessThan /sub greaterThan  between 15 and 50 μg/mL. The results of the  lessThan i greaterThan RSA lessThan /i greaterThan   lessThan i greaterThan ex vivo lessThan /i greaterThan  test confirmed those of the maturation test with a survival percentage of approximately 50% of parasites (i,e 50% inhibition), as the parasites were exposed to the IC lessThan sub greaterThan 50 lessThan /sub greaterThan  of the various cells extracts used for the maturation test. These results make  lessThan i greaterThan Hoslundia opposita lessThan /i greaterThan  a potential resource in the search for antimalarial molecules. </abstract>
