✦ Synopsis

The leaf decoction of Guiera senegalensis possesses an antitussive activity. The antitussive activity of Guiera was evaluated using the classical citric acid-evoked cough model in guinea-pigs. The leaf decoction of the leaves of Guiera dose-dependently decreased the number of coughs. The cytotoxicity test showed that the acute cytotoxic concentration of Guiera decoction was b1000 mg/mL.
