Abstract

The angiogenic effect of Sechium edule (Chayote) and Bougainvillea spectabilis (Bogambilya) methanolic leaf extracts to the CAM of 11- day old duck (Anasplatyrhynchos) embryo was evaluated. TLC screening confirmed the presence of phytochemicals such as alkaloids and flavonoids. The two (2) phytochemicals were both present in Bogambilya while only flavonoids in Chayote. Phosphate buffer was used for T0 (negative control), while T1 (100ppm),T2(200ppm) and T3 (300ppm) were the formulated treatments of each extract. All treatments of both plants lowered the number of blood vessels formed on the CAM compared to the negative control, which had normal formation of blood vessels. Three (3) treatments (T1,T2 and T3) of Chayote had significant difference (p<0.05) to T0. On the other hand, two (2) treatments (T2 and T3) of Bogambilya had significant difference (p<0.05) to T0. Therefore, the treatments with significant difference to T0 exhibited an anti-angiogenic effect to the CAM of duck embryo. The most effective treatment of each plant extract could not be identified, since they had no significant differences with each other. This study would serve as a basis for future research concerning angiogenesis and the mentioned plant species.
