摘要
Borage (Borago officinalis) is a plant with nutritional value that is also used in traditional medicine to treat gastrointestinal disease. This study investigated the amoebicidal activity of a methanol extract of borage. The 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50) of the extract for Entamoeba histolytica was 33 mu g/mL. The 50% lethal dose of the extract for brine shrimp was greater than 1,000 mu g/mL. The IC50 of the extract for Vero cells was 203.9 mu g/mL. These results support the use of borage to prevent diseases associated with E. histolytica infection.
