Abstract

ABSTRACT A survey was carried out using a structured questionnaire to obtain information about medicinal plants used for the management of asthma in Lagos metropolis. Species with the highest use values (UV) were selected for phytochemical screening. In total, 79 respondents were interviewed and 36 species distributed in 23 plant families were identified. Based on the UV, the most important species were Olax subscorpiodea (UV=0.13), Crinum glaucum (UV=0.12), Allium ascalonicum (UV=0.09), Allium sativum (UV=0.06), Zingiber officinale (UV=0.05), and Securidaca longipendiculata (UV=0.05). Phytochemical screening revealed the presence of flavonoids, alkaloids, terpenes glycosides, phlobatannins, tannins, phenols, and saponins.
