Abstract
This study was performed to elucidate the possible toxic effect of the ethanolic extract of aerial roots of Rhaphidophora aurea twined over Lawsonia
inermis on Swiss mice. Mice were orally administrated single dose o f 100,250,500, 750, 1000 and 2000 mg/kg of ethanol extract and the mortality was
observed for 14 days post treatment of extract. These results state that ethanol extract of Rhaphidophora aurea twined over Lawsonia inermis is
toxicologically safe by oral administration.
