Sickle cell disease is a genetic disease very expanded all over the African block. In Togo like most African countries, it’s one of major causes of morbidity and mortality. The available treatments are very ornamental and are most of the time remedy than cure. However, in our areas, the sicks use medicinal plants for treating themselves. It’s in this scope that this study has been conducted in sight of assessing the anti-sickling activity of Newbouldia laevis extracts (leaves, roots and stem barks) based on Emmel test using 2% sodium metabisulphite. The extracts were also studied for its in vitro antioxidant activity using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2’-azobis (2-amidinopropane hydrochloride) (AAPH) methods. The results obtained show that the roots and the stem barks extracts have a comparable efficiency. These extracts enabled us to reduce the sickling rate respectively at 17% and 16% against 78% for the control that was incubated in the presence of 0.9% sodium chloride. The leaves extract led to hemolysis and hemolysing concentration was 5mg/ml. Light antioxidant activity in vitro was obtained for the two extracts. Our outcomes proved that in vitro , roots and stem barks of Newbouldia laevis extracts have an anti-sickling activity contrary to the hemolysing leaves extract. © 2018 International Formulae Group.
