The powdered root bark of I. gabonensis was macerated with 70% ethanol and then partitioned with different solvents based on their polarity to afford 4 fractions. The extract and fractions were subjected to phytochemical analysis. The in vitro antioxidant activity was evaluated using DPPH assay. The quantitative phytochemical determination showed that ethyl acetate fraction of I. gabonensis root bark (EFIGR) had the highest content of tannins (154.44 mg/GAE g), phenol (106.26 mg/GAE g and flavonoid (76.07 mg/QE g). The in vitro antioxidant activity of the extract and the fractions had IC50 values of 76.0±0.03, 27.0± 0.05, 39.0±0.07 and 28.0±0.10 μg/mL for Ethanol extract, EFIGR, Butanol fraction and Aqueous fraction respectively while the standard had 29.0±0.03 μg/mL.Further fractionation of EFIGR led to the isolation of hederagenin which was characterized using 1D-NMR and mass spectrometric data. The present study revealed that root bark of I. gabonensis is a potential sourceof natural antioxidant which justified its uses in the traditional medicine.","PeriodicalId":194477,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pharmacy & Bioresources","volume":"125 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131784016","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Knowledge was measured using an eight-item instrument. Educational intervention in form of group discussions was administered. Values of p ≤ 0.05 were considered statistically significant.

The plant was extracted with 80% ethanol and different concentrations were tested at a temperature range of 30 to 60OC and for various immersion time ranging from 4 to 72 hours using gravimetric (Weight Loss) method. The results showed that Cynodon dactylon extract exhibited strong corrosion inhibition efficiency (97.78%.). The inhibition efficiency of the Cynodon dactylon extract increased with an increase of extract concentration and through the immersion periods but decreased with an increase of the temperature. The inhibitive effect could be attributed to the presence of some phytochemical compounds in the plant which were adsorbed on the surface of the mild steel.","PeriodicalId":194477,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pharmacy &amp; Bioresources","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121830582","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Acetic acid-induced writhing and hot plate tests in albino mice were used to evaluate the peripheral and central analgesic effects using acetylsalicylic acid and morphine respectively as positive controls, while 50% DMSO served as negative control. Elucidation of the possible mechanism/s of action of the extract was carried using phenoxybenzamine, naloxen, ondansetron, atropine and haloperidol. Alkaloids, saponins, carbohydrates, terpenoids, steroids tannins, and flavonoids were detected in the extract.

Higher doses of extract (200 and 400 mg/kg) did not produce any significant effect.
