Azanza garckeana is a source of food, fodder for animals, fuel (fire wood), timber, medicine (roots are taking orally for pain relief, to treat cough and chest pains) and for shelter. The n-hexane, ethyl acetate and ethanol extracts were obtain by serial extraction using shaker apparatus. The results showed that; the phytochemical screening indicated the presence of alkaloids, cardiac glycosides, reducing compounds, flavonoids, saponin, Steroids and Triterpens, Tannins and phenols. The results of antibacterial recorded that there were significant antibacterial activity against all types of bacteria that used in this study. The result of the DPPH radical scavenging activity of the fruits extracts of Azanza garckeana showed that the n-hexane extract has high value 86 µg/ml, ethyl acetate extract value was 61 µg/ml and ethanol extract value was 42 µg/ml.
This present study was carried out in Khartoum state-Sudan, during March 2019. The dried bark of Xeromphis nilotica was extracted successively with (Ethyl acetate, Ethanol) and (Methanol, Water). The phytochemical screening carried out on four different extracts of Xeromphis nilotica bark and it contain amount of secondary metabolites such as (Alkaloids, Carbohydrates, Tannins, Phenols, Sterols & Triterpenes, Saponins, Flavonoids, Amino acids and Proteins were studied. The antibacterial activity of extracts were evaluated against four standard bacteria (Gram positive; Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus) and (Gram negative; Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa) and the results showed high inhibition zone (21mm) in methanol extract against Escherichia coli and low inhibition zone in aqueous extract against all bacterial strains tested.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
