| dc.description.abstract | Background: This current study was carried out to investigate possible antibacterial; antioxidant activities and phytochemical screening of Petroleum ether, ethyl acetate and 70% ethanol extract of Xylopia aethiopica. Materials & Methods: Phytochemical analysis of the crude extract was performed to detect the presence of different kinds of phytoconstituents. The antibacterial activity was investigated against five standard microbial strains: four bacterial strains (Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus) and one standard strain of fungi (Candida albicans) by using the disc diffusion method. Results: All extracts showed high, moderate or weak antimicrobial activity against all the strains used. Antioxidant activity showed that, the ethanol extract was the most active extract (60±0.07) in comparison to the other extracts. Conclusion: Phytochemical screening showed the presence and absence of the secondary metabolites among the entire sample tested. | |
