Phytochemical studies and antimicrobial activity of Anthocleista djalonensis (Okpokolo leaf)

Abstract

Phytochemical study and antimicrobial activity of Anthocleista djalonensis was carried out by solvent extraction using ethanol and aqueous solvents. Results obtained showed that both ethanolic and aqueous extracts contain alkaloids 4+_8%, tannins 1+_1%, flavonoids 3+_3%, cardiac glycoside 2+_3%, saponin 4+_5% and reducing sugar, while protein was absent in ethanol extract but present in aqueous extract. The antimicrobial screening should inhibit growth of staphylococcus aureus at 10.17+_0.74, eschericha coli 13.30+_ 0.22 and candida albicans 14.97+_0.17 for ethanolic extract, aqueous extract inhibition is from 7.07+_0.14 for staphylococcus aureus, 9.23+_0.12 for Eschericha Coli and 12.63+_ 0.31 for candida albicans .these are indication that the plant is used as medicinal plant.
