Effect of different extracts on micro vessels formation in ex vivo rat aorta ring assay, a explants treated with 1 % DMSO (vehicle), b tissue treated with methanol, c chloroform, d n-hexane and e water extract of B. aegyptiaca stem bark, while f is Suramin as a positive control. (Images were taken under an inverted phase-contrast microscope at 4X). g Graphical representation of the inhibitory effect tested extracts on blood vessel growth in rat aortic rings at concentrations of 100 μg/mL. The result is compared with the standard reference, suramin. All values are represented as the mean ± SD (n = 10), and *** indicates significant differences of p < 0.001 compared with the control-treated group (DMSO)
