Nutrient, non-nutrient, antioxidant activity, and Fourier Transform Infrared analysis of Kenyan indigenous edible leafy vegetables from (Hochst Ex Oliv and Hiern).

Background: is a vegetable with therapeutic advantage for human diseases.

Objective: Evaluate nutritive and non-nutritive components, antioxidant activity, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy profile of L. cornuta leaves.

Ethnomedicinal uses, phytochemistry, and pharmacology of the genus : a review.

Although medicinal plants have been used by ethnic communities since ancient times to prevent and treat various diseases, only a few have been scientifically documented. Therefore, due to their rare availability and lack of comprehensive scientific information, we reviewed the ethnomedicinal uses, phytochemistry, and pharmacological activities of plants within the genus . To do this, we used specific search terms and phrases to retrieve relevant information from online sources published in English from 2000 to July 2023.

Phytochemical Screening, Toxic Effects, and Antimicrobial Activity Studies of (Hochst. ex A.Rich.) Stapf (Poaceae) Rhizome Extracts against Selected Uropathogenic Microorganisms.

In Kenya, the rhizome's decoction is traditionally used to treat urinary tract infections (UTIs), mainly gonorrhea and candidiasis. UTIs are the most severe public health problems that affect over one hundred and fifty million people worldwide annually. They are caused by a wide range of microorganisms where is known to be the main causative pathogen.

Evaluation of Uterotonic Activity, Acute Oral Toxicity, and Phytochemical Composition of Verdc. Root Extracts.

Over 80% of cultural societies in low-income countries use plant preparations in traditional medicine with unknown potency and safety profiles. root extracts are used by some Kenyan herbalists. However, the claims of the plant to remove retained placenta during birth have remained uninvestigated.

Acute Toxicity, Phytochemical Screening, Analgesic, and Anti-Inflammatory Activities of Aqueous and Methanol Root Extracts of A. Rich. (Capparaceae).

root extracts are used by Maasai and Kikuyu communities in Kenya to manage headaches, stomachaches, migraines, and rheumatism. However, scientific data on their safety and efficacy are limited. The current study aims to investigate the safety, phytochemical constituents, analgesic, and anti-inflammatory activities of root extracts.
