In HIV infected individuals, certain clinical and biological markers are used to assess the progression or regression of the disease. From the plant, Uvaria bevistipitata of the Annonaceae family, a substantially pure extract was derived. This extract was administered to 268 HIV infected patients in a clinical trail in Zaire Africa and dramatic results were obtained. The extract was also submitted to a laboratory for in vitro analysis. when tested against the HIV reverse transcriptase enzyme, the extract tested 96.7% active. In further laboratory analysis, against HIV-IIB, it demonstrated efficacy at doses that showed no cytotoxic effects.
