The present study was carried out to establish the chemical profile of the methanolic extract of stem bark and investigate its antibacterial property against some human pathogenic bacteria. The extract was analysed using liquid and gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry. Antibacterial activity of extract against some human pathogenic bacteria was screened using the AlamarBlue method, and MIC and MBC were determined.

Aim: This study is aimed at establishing phenolic compound profile and assessing the possible antiulcer activities of aqueous extracts of some staple plant foods from the West and North-West regions of Cameroon against chronic gastric ulcer models in rats.

Materials And Methods: Phenolic constituents of extracts were evaluated using HPLC-DAD. Aqueous extracts of , , , , "nkui" spices, and "yellow soup" spices were tested at two doses (200 and 400 mg/kg).

Objective: The objective of this study was to elucidate the antisecretory mechanism of the root bark aqueous extract of (RBAEDM) in Wistar rats. . RBAEDM was tested on three experimental animal models of gastric acid hypersecretion including pyloric ligation (PL), PL with histamine, and carbachol pretreatments.

The effects of the aqueous extract of Moringa oleifera on swimming performance and related biochemical parameters were investigated in male Wistar rats (130-132 g). Four groups of rats (16 per group) were fed a standard laboratory diet and given distilled water, 100, 200, or 400 mg/kg of extract, respectively, for 28 days. On day 28, 8 rats from each group were subjected to the forced swimming test with tail load (10% of body weight).
