Extracts of 42 medicinal plants used for the treatment of anaemia, diabetes, AIDS, malaria and obesity were screened for phytochemical substances and antioxidant potentials. The plant extracts were prepared as hydrolysed (for total antioxidant) and non-hydrolysed (for free antioxidant). Extracts
Two new prenylated anthronoids, harunmadagascarins A and B, were isolated from the stem bark of Harungana madagascariensis along with six known compounds including two anthronoids: harunganol B and harungin anthrone, one benzophenone: methyl 3-formyl-2,4-dihydroxy-6-methyl benzoate and three
Four plants (Amphimas pterocaroides, Harungana madagascariensis, Myrianthus arboreus, and Cussonia barteri) that are commonly used in Cameroon for the management or reversal of anaemia were screened for their phytochemical content and antioxidant potential. Four extracts (methanolic,
The stembarks of Harungana madagascariensis were analyzed for their content of chemical constituents, antinutrients, vitamin levels, and in vitro antioxidant properties in two solvent systems. Phytochemical screening revealed higher levels of alkaloids, saponins, and flavonoids in the methanolic
BACKGROUND
Anemia is a condition that has multiple origins. One such origin is the destruction of red blood cells' (RBCs) membrane induced by free radicals. Treatment of anemia could therefore be enhanced by the use of free radicals' scavengers potentially found in some medicinal plants. In this
