Objective: The association of Artemisinin based combination therapy with herbal medicine seems to be a factor favouring the occurrence of serious adverse effects, hepatitis disorders and acute renal failure in particular. The aim of this study was to evaluate the cross- toxicity of these associations on renal cells.Methods: African green monkey kidney cells (VERO) were incubated with anti-malarial drugs and plant preparations. The products used were: Artesunate 100mg / amodiaquine 270mg (ASAQ) and artemether 80mg / lumefantrine 480mg (AL) , and Sida acuta and Enantia polycarpa at a concentration of 10 ?g / ml. After 5 days of incubation, a cell count was performed using a haemocytometer.
Results: ASAQ resulted in significant cell destruction compared to the control between Day2 (p 0.05) and Day5 (p 0.01) with a peak at day 3 (p 0.001). There was also a significant difference between Sida acuta and control on Day4 (p 0.05) and Day5 (p 0.001). Cell mortality was> 30% in the tubes treated with ASAQ and Sida acuta . Finally, cell destruction was statistically significant in tubes treated with the combination of antimalarial drugs and traditional plants compared to the control tube from Day2 (p 0.001).
Conclusion: The renal toxicity observed with ASAQ, Sida acuta and combination of antimalarial drugs and herbs, appears dose-dependent or cumulative. The mechanism of this renal toxicity should be better analysed in further studies.
