Article Synopsis
- Buruli ulcer (BU) is a neglected tropical disease primarily affecting rural areas in Africa, South America, and Asia, leading to severe skin and tissue damage, along with social stigma for patients.
- The disease is caused by a pathogen that produces a mycolactone toxin, resulting in necrosis and can escalate from a painless skin nodule to serious complications involving muscles and bones.
- While antibiotics and surgery are common treatments, the review suggests that indigenous African plants could offer alternative remedies and emphasizes the need for further research into socio-economic and environmental factors influencing BU management.
Introduction: In Ghana, and are green leafy vegetables that are customarily eaten together with a starchy staple food. The present study aimed at assessing the ethanolic leaf extract of , and for antioxidant capacity, phytochemical property, nutritional and anti-nutrient content.
Method: Phytochemical constituent and proximate analysis were determined using standard protocols.
Background: is a plant species with well-documented ethnobotanical and medicinal properties. The plant is reported to have various secondary metabolites and had been applied for the treatment of various diseased conditions.
Objectives: The study objectives include fractionation, isolation, purification, and characterization of eriodictyol from the bark of , and the determination of its antimicrobial and antioxidant activities.
Background: is a tropical plant with numerous ethno-medicinal benefits. The plant has been used for the treatment of pain, hernia, fever, malaria, inflammation and microbial infections.
Objectives: To perform bioassay-guided fractionation, antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of the bark of .
Background: is a plant species with reported numerous medicinal potentials and secondary metabolites. Various parts of the plant have been applied for the treatment of hernia, rheumatism, pain, lumbago, malaria, etc. The study seeks to evaluate the phytochemical constituents, antiplasmodial, and ESI-MS scan of bioassay-guided fractions from the methanol extract of the bark of the plant.
