An acetone-water neem leaf extract with antimalarial activity was evaluated in vitro(out of body) at 5 microg/ml for inhibition of adhesion of malaria parasite-infected erythrocytes and cancer cells to endothelial(vascular) cells, and at 10 microg/ml for protection of lymphocytes against invasion by HIV.

No adverse effects were observed during the study. The extract showed antiretroviral activity with a mechanism of action that may involve inhibition of cytoadhesion.
