Abstract

Medicinal plants are consumed globally for the treatment of various illnesses and they also serve as important raw materials in pharmaceutical industries. Medicinal plants are also of great importance to the health of individuals and communities. The Biological activities of this plant lies in some chemical substances that produces biological and physiological action in the body. In this study, phytochemical investigation and anti-microbial screening were carried out in the leaves of Lecaniodiscus cupanioides extract. Extraction of the plant leaves was preceded using maceration procedure. The presence of some bioactive compounds of plant leaves were also investigated. The data obtained from the phytochemical investigation revealed the presence of flavonoids, tannins, saponins, steroids, phlobatannins, terpenoids and cardiac glycosides in the leaves extract. Similarly, the quantitative estimation of the chemical constituents carried out on the crude extract of the leaves of Lecaniodiscus cupanioides indicates the presence of alkaloids (10%), flavonoids (3%) and saponins (1%). In the same vein, antimicrobial screening on the crude methanolic extract of the leaves of Lecaniodiscus cupanioides revealed the presence of a very strong activity on both grame-positive and grame-negative, and fungi organism. The presence of medicinal constituents or bioactive components in the leaves of lecaniodiscus cupaniodes extract indicates that the medicinal plant could be of great source of useful drugs in the treatment of various diseases.
