Antimicrobial activity of extracts and fractions of (Schum. and Thonn) on microbial isolates of the urinary tract.

is used in ethnomedicine for treating several conditions, including genital and urinary tract infections (UTI). Although ethnobotanical claims support its use in therapy, there is limited evidence on its effect on UTI, even though UTI remains a public health problem in Nigeria especially due to increasing antimicrobial resistance. We investigated the activity of extracts and fractions on bacterial and fungal isolates from symptomatic urinary tract infections and vaginosis respectively.

Anti-sickling activities of two isolated compounds from the root of Combretum racemosum P. beauv. (Combretaceae).

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Evaluation of plants such as Combretum racemosum with claimed traditional use in the management of sickle cell anaemia in Nigeria and other parts of West Africa could serve as a useful research strategy in the search for potential anti-sickling drugs and templates.

Aim Of The Study: This study aimed at evaluating the antisickling potential of C. racemosum by activity-guided purification and isolation of its active constituents.
