Abstract

Curculigo pilosa is traditionally used in herbal medicine. This study aims to provide information on the secondary metabolites present in C. pilosa rhizomes powder, considering the growing interest in ethnomedicines in recent times. The rhizomes of C. pilosa were purchased from markets around Ogere, Ogun State, Nigeria. They were authenticated by a botanist, after which the rhizomes were washed and extracted using ethanol. The phytochemical composition and metabolomic profiles of the ethanolic extracts of C. pilosa were determined using gas chromatographic-mass spectrometric (GC-MS) methods. The results showed that the ethanolic extracts of C. pilosa had higher concentrations of phenols (9.27 ± 0.55 mg GAE/g), alkaloids (6.22 ± 1.95 g/100g), flavonoids (0.66 ± 0.05 g/100g), and saponins (0.51 ± 0.02 g/100g), but lower concentrations of glycosides (0.06 ± 0.01 g/100g), steroids (0.20 ± 0.02 g/100g), and tannins (0.09 ± 0.01 g/100g). The twenty-one bioactive compounds found in the extract include tetraethyl silicate (C₈H₂₀O₄Si), benzene, 1,2-dimethoxy- (C₈H₁₀O₂), 5-dodecene, (Z)- (C₁₂H₂₄), 7-tetradecene, (E)- (C₁₄H₂₈), spirohexane-1-carboxylic acid, ethyl ester (C₉H₁₄O₂), 1-dodecanol, 2-octyl- (C₂₀H₄₂O), formaldehyde, methyl (2-propynyl) hydrazone (C₅H₈N₂), D-allose (C₆H₁₂O₆), cyclohexane, 1R-acetamido-2cis,4trans-bis(acetoxy)-3trans-azido- (C₁₂H₂₂N₄O₅), 5-octadecene, (E)- (C₁₈H₃₆), acetamide, 2-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)- (C₁₁H₁₅NO₃), cyclopentanol, 1-(1-methylene-2-propenyl)- (C₉H₁₄O), 1,9-tetradecadiene (C₁₄H₂₆), 9-eicosine, (E) (C₂₀H₄₀), hexadecyl propyl ether (C₁₉H₄₀O), 9-octadecene, (E)- (C₁₈H₃₆), linoleic acid ethyl ester (C₂₀H₃₄O), 2-methyl-Z,Z-3,13-octadecadienol (C₁₉H₃₆O), 3-octadecene, (E)- (C₁₈H₃₆), 3-heptadecenal (C₁₇H₃₂O), tricyclo[5.4.3.0(1,8)] tetradecan-6-one, and 4-ethenyl-3-hydroxy-2,4,7,14-tetramethyl (C₂₀H₃₂O₂). Some of the phytocompounds identified in this study are biologically important and exhibit antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties, which may hold therapeutic potential for both animal and human health.

Abstract

Japanese quail has the potential to complement the gap in the protein need of Nigerians. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of varying inclusion levels of Parquetina nigrescens leaf extract (PNLE) on the growth performance, gastrointestinal response, and plasma response of Japanese quails (Coturnix coturnix japonica). Fresh leaves of P. nigrescens were harvested. Two-hundred day old of unsexed Japanese quails were weighed and randomly allocated to 5 dietary treatment groups with forty birds at 4 replicates of 10 chicks, respectively. The leaf was obtained by harvesting and blending the leaves, using 50 g of leaves in 1000 mL of water. The treatment were as follows: (T1) which is the control did not receive any PNLE, T2, T3, T4 and T5 administered 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 mL of PNLE per 500 mL of water, respectively, for 6 week of experiment. Feed and water were provided ad libitum and mortality was recorded as it occurred. Parameters measured were performance (feed intake, weight gain, feed conversion ratio (FCR) and gastrointestinal response (Internal organ of GIT and morphometrics). All data were subjected to analysis of variance using Duncan’s multiple range test in SAS (2010) where p value < 0.005 was considered to be statistically significant. For performance, the results showed that the administration of PNLE did not have significant influence (p > 0.05) on all the parameters in the starter and finisher phases. It was observed that when all the parameters were put together without considering the phases, all the parameters considered were not significant (p > 0.05) except feed conversion ratio (FCR) with the highest value being in T1 (5.041) and the lowest value being T4 (3.183). For the gastrointestinal response parameters, the inclusion of PNLE had significant effect (p < 0.05) on crop pH, proventriculus temperature, proventriculus pH, gizzard weight, gizzard temperature, relative gizzard weight, jejunum length and ileum temperature. It was concluded that the inclusion of PNLE had no detrimental effect on growth performance, gastrointestinal response and plasma of Japanese quail, hence it can be used up to 0.4 mL into 500 mL of water.
