Phytochemical Screening And Antimicrobial Activities Of Cola Hispida Brenan And Keay, Cola Nitida Schott, Anacardium Occidental Linn And Mangifera Indica Linn:- Ibem, Nneka C.
ABSTRACT
The anti-microbial activity and phytochemical
analysis on the leaves of Anacardium occidentale, Cola hispida, Cola nitida and
Mangifera indica was carried out. The four plant species were found to contain
alkaloid, saponin, tannins, flavonoid and phenols in varying proportion .The
concentration of the phytochemicals me as follows; alkaloid (0.67 -1.42%),
saponins (0.31 - 0.55%),tannins (0.74 -0.91%), flavonoid (0.32 - 0.51%),and
phenols(0.63 - 1.02%).The plants contained more alkaloid than other
phytochemicals and contained less flavonoids than other phytochemical. The
anti-microbial activity of the ethanolic and aqueous extracts of the leaves of
the plants were tested against four microorganism; Staphlococcus aureus,
Klebsiella pneumonia, Candida albicans and Baccilus subtilis. The
susceptibility of the microorganisms was determined using disk diffusion
method. The leaf extracts ofthese plants inhibited the growth of these pathogens.
The degree of inhibition of the growth of these microorganisms by the plant
extracts depends on the concentration ofthe extracts
