In this study, researchers from the Nelson Mandela African Institution of Science and Technology in Tanzania evaluated the preclinical acute and sub-acute toxicity of the methanolic extract of Aloe rabaiensis leaf (ARLME) using BALB/c mice following OECD guidelines 423 and 407, respectively. Their findings were published in the Journal of Medicinal Plants Research.
Based on these findings, the researchers concluded that A. rabaiensis leaf extracts are non-toxic at dosages below 1,000 mg/kg, making their use in drug formulations possible.
