Abstract

Introduction: Medicinal plants have been the basis of treatment of various diseases in African traditional medicine as well as other forms of treatment from diverse cultures of the world. Khaya anthotheca is a member of the family Meliaceae, a native to Africa. It is a medicinal plant widely used for several therapeutic purposes. Herein, phytochemical study, hyperglycaemic investigations was carried out on the methanol extract of Khaya anthotheca Stem-bark. Materials and Methods: However, 35 rats were distributed into seven groups to evaluate the anti-diabetic activity of K. anthotheca stem-bark methanol extract at the dosage range of 50-400 mg/kg/b.wt. The analysis was done using the software-SPSS one-way ANOVA at a significance level p<0.05. Results: The result of the anti-diabetic study reveals that extract elicited substantial (p<0.05) inhibition of hyperglycaemic. The plant Khaya anthotheca stem-bark methanol extract displayed profound (p<0.05) anti-hyperglycaemic action at the dosage of 200 mg/kg/b.wt, 300 mg/kg/b.wt. and 500 mg/kg/b.wt. against induced diabetic rats. Conclusion: This study therefore suggests the use of Khaya anthotheca as a hypoglycaemic agent and for treatment of diabetic. Further studies are needed to discover the bioactive constituent of the plant responsible for this anti-diabetic activity.

Abstract

Fungal infection is an infectious disease that is commonly implicated as aetiologic agents that contribute to the increasing burden of morbidity and mortality in developing countries as a result misdiagnosis or improper diagnosis. This study determined the profiling and antifungal potentials of Stem-Bark Extracts of East African (Khaya Anthotheca). The methanol solvent was used for disc diffusion assay. The inhibitory concentration of the extract was performed by broth dilution method and zone of inhibition was studied by disc diffusion method at the concentration of 50, 100, 250, and 500 in DMSO. Nystatin was used as the reference control for antifungal study. The extract showed maximum inhibition potential sof zone of inhibition against most of the pathogen (Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus flavus, Candida tropicalis and Fusarium oxysporium) used at concentration 50ppm to 500ppm. The zone of inhibition for 500ppm is shown as (319.12± 0.11, 19.23 ± 0.12, 20.33±0.23* and 18.34±0.21*mm respectively). The extract showed minimum inhibition potential against Aspergillus flavus in all the concentration when compared with the control as well as to the other pathogens. Candida tropicalis and Fusarium oxysporium was found to be more sensitive to the methanol extract followed by Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus niger lastly. The extract was found to be rich in phytochemical, with about 20 different chemical constitutes, with 12.14- Pentane, 3-ethyl-2,4-dimethyl-, 14.66-3-Hexen-2-one and 27.23-2-Nonenal, 2-pentyl-as the highest. The Present study indicates the potential usefulness of methanol extract of extract of khaya anthotheca as antifungal agent. Thus, has therefore, contributed to the pool of knowledge already available in this area of research. Considering the effects that both phytochemicals and its potentials as antifungal, it would be expedient to conduct further studies to assess its cancer potentials.
