Phytochemical Analysis of the Ayurvedic Formulation, Triphala and its Constit...ijtsrd
‘Triphala’ is a traditional Ayurvedic herbal formulation, consisting of equal parts of three medicinal fruits namely, Emblica officinalis Gaertn., Terminalia bellerica Roxb. and Terminalia chebula Retz. In India, it is considered the most versatile of all herbal formulations. ‘Triphala’ is found to be very effective in helping to control weight gain, chronic constipation, chronic degenerative conditions, conjunctivitis and progressive myopia. It also cures early stages of glaucoma and cataracts. In the present study, the aqueous and methanolic extracts of dried fruits and leaves of the constituent plants, individually and in equiproportional combinations were subjected to preliminary phytochemical studies. Phytochemical analysis revealed the presence of steroids, flavonoids, coumarins, alkaloids, proteins, sugars and phenolic compounds. Combination extracts gave better results than individual aqueous and methanol extracts. Leaf extracts individual and combination were found to be equally effective as fruit extracts. Considering the availability and cost factor, leaves may be a cheaper substitute in favor of fruits.

ABSTRACT- Medicinal Plants have been practiced for hundreds of centuries by tribes all over the world. From the earliest times until the end of nineteenth century plants are still the common source of medicinal treatment yet. Using natural, plant-derived medicines that are “healthier” then prescription drugs derived from synthesized products is something that appeals to consumers. The medicinal plants are of great importance because there are utilized as medicines. Aim of this research work was to evaluate the antibacterial activity of Skimmia laureola plant against various patho-genic strains of bacteria. The hot and cold water extract of Skimmia laureola were used against four bacterial strains Escherichia coli,Bacillus subti-lus, Staphylococcusaureus and Proteus mirabilis in order to check the antibacterial activity of Skimmia laureola. Antibacterial activity was conducted by agar well diffusion method. The Skimmia laureola showed different level of antibacterial activity. The hot and cold water extract of Skimmia lau-reola showed antibacterial activity against the micro-organism but not too maximum. Keywords: Medicinal Plants, Skimmia Laureola, Antibacterial Activity.

Phytochemical Analysis of the Ayurvedic Formulation, Triphala and its Constit...ijtsrd
‘Triphala’ is a traditional Ayurvedic herbal formulation, consisting of equal parts of three medicinal fruits namely, Emblica officinalis Gaertn., Terminalia bellerica Roxb. and Terminalia chebula Retz. In India, it is considered the most versatile of all herbal formulations. ‘Triphala’ is found to be very effective in helping to control weight gain, chronic constipation, chronic degenerative conditions, conjunctivitis and progressive myopia. It also cures early stages of glaucoma and cataracts. In the present study, the aqueous and methanolic extracts of dried fruits and leaves of the constituent plants, individually and in equiproportional combinations were subjected to preliminary phytochemical studies. Phytochemical analysis revealed the presence of steroids, flavonoids, coumarins, alkaloids, proteins, sugars and phenolic compounds. Combination extracts gave better results than individual aqueous and methanol extracts. Leaf extracts individual and combination were found to be equally effective as fruit extracts. Considering the availability and cost factor, leaves may be a cheaper substitute in favor of fruits.

Antibacterial and Antifungal Activities of Essential Oils of Crude Extracts o...lukeman Joseph Ade shittu
Concern about the rising prevalence of antibiotics-resistant strains of pathogenic microorganisms has been expressed in the last three decades. However, intensive studies on extracts and biologically-active compounds isolated from medicinal plants have also doubled in the last decade. As a result of paucity of knowledge and folkloric claim on the leaves effectiveness in infectious disease treatments, we aimed to determine the antimicrobial activity of essential oils and lignans present in the crude Sesame radiatum leaves extracts. Ethanolic, Methanolic and Aqueous extracts of Sesame radiatum leaves were studied for their in-vitro antimicrobial activity against both Gram positive and Gram negative micro-organisms and Yeast using Agar diffusion method. The GC-MS phytochemical screening of methanolic extract showed the presence of carboxylic acids and phenolic groups in essential oils especially some of the most potent antioxidants like Sesamol, Sesamolin and Sesamin. Both the methanolic and ethanolic extracts have broad spectrum antimicrobial effect against all the tested micro-organisms except Streptococcus pneumoniae, Candida albicans and Staphylococcus aureus respectively, while the aqueous extract exhibited no inhibitory effect on Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pneumoniae except on Candida albicans. The result confirmed the folkloric claims of the antimicrobial effectiveness of locally consumed Sesame leaves extracts especially against bacterial and common skin infection in many areas of the Country (Nigeria).

The Statutory Interpretation of Renewable Energy Based on Syllogism of Britis...AI Publications
The current production for energy consumption generates harmful impacts of carbon dioxide to the environment causing instability to sustainable development goals. The constitutional reforms of British Government serve to be an important means of resolving any encountered incompatibilities to political environment. This study aims to evaluate green economy using developed equation for renewable energy towards political polarization of corporate governance. The Kano Model Assessment is used to measure the equivalency of 1970 Patents Act to UK Intellectual Property tabulating the criteria for the fulfillment of sustainable development goals in respect to the environment, artificial intelligence, and dynamic dichotomy of administrative agencies and presidential restriction, as statutory interpretation development to renewable energy. The constitutional forms of British government satisfy the sustainable development goals needed to fight climate change, advocate healthy ecosystem, promote leadership of magnates, and delegate responsibilities towards green economy. The presidential partisanship must be observed to delineate parties of concerns and execute the government prescriptions in equivalence to the dichotomous relationship of technology and the environment in fulfilling the rights and privileges of all citizens. Hence, the political elites can execute corporate governance towards sustainable development of renewable energy promoting environmental parks and zero emission target of carbon dioxide discharges. The economic theory developed in statutory interpretation for renewable energy serves as a tool to reduce detrimental impacts of carbon dioxide to the environment, mitigate climate change, and produce artefacts of bioenergy and artificial intelligence promoting sustainable development. It is suggested to explore other vulnerabilities of artificial intelligence to prosper economic success.

Analysis of Value Chain of Cow Milk: The Case of Itang Special Woreda, Gambel...AI Publications
Ethiopia has a long and rich history of dairy farming, which was mostly carried out by small and marginal farmers who raised cattle, camels, goats, and sheep, among other species, for milk. Finding the Itang Special Woreda cow milk value chain is the study's main goal. In order to gather primary data, 204 smallholder dairy farmer households were randomly selected, and the market concentration ratio was calculated using 20 traders. Descriptive statistics, econometric models, and rank analysis were used to achieve the above specified goals. Out of all the participants in the milk value chain, producers, cafés, hotels, and dairy cooperatives had the largest gross marketing margins, accounting for 100% of the consumer price in channels I and II, 55% in channels III and V, and 25.5% in channels V. The number of children under five, the number of milking cows owned, the amount of money from non-dairy sources, the frequency of extension service contacts, the amount of milk produced each day, and the availability of market information were found to have an impact on smallholders' involvement in the milk market. Numerous obstacles also limited the amount of milk produced and marketed. The poll claims that general health issues, sickness, predators, and a lack of veterinary care are plaguing farmers. In order to address the issue of milk perishability, the researchers recommended the host community and organization to construct an agro milk processor, renovate the dairy cooperative in the study region, and restructure the current conventional marketing to lower the transaction and cost of milk marketing.
Minds and Machines: Impact of Emotional Intelligence on Investment Decisions ...AI Publications
In the evolving landscape of financial decision-making, this study delves into the intricate relationships among Emotional Intelligence (EI), Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Investment Decisions (ID). By scrutinizing the direct influence of human emotional intelligence on investment choices and elucidating the mediating role of AI in this process, our research seeks to unravel the complex interplay between minds and machines. Through empirical analysis, we reveal that EI not only directly impacts ID but also exerts its influence indirectly through AI-mediated pathways. The findings underscore the pivotal role of emotional awareness in investor decision-making, augmented by the technological capabilities of AI. It suggests that most investors are influenced by the identified emotional intelligence when making investment decisions. Furthermore, AI substantially impacts investors' decision-making process when it comes to investing; nevertheless, AI partially mediates the relationship between emotional intelligence and investment decisions. This nuanced understanding provides valuable insights for financial practitioners, policymakers, and researchers, emphasizing the need for holistic strategies that integrate emotional and technological dimensions in navigating the intricacies of modern investment landscapes. As the synergy between human intuition and artificial intelligence becomes increasingly integral to financial decision-making, this study contributes to the ongoing discourse on the symbiotic relationship between minds and machines in investments.0
Bronchopulmonary cancers are common cancers with a poor prognosis. It is the leading cause of death by cancer in Algeria and in the world. Behind this unfavorable prognosis hides numerous disparities according to age, sex, and exposure to risk factors, ranking 4th among incident cancers and developing countries including Algeria, all sexes combined. It ranks 2nd cancers in men and 3rd among women. Whatever the age observed, the incidence of this cancer is higher in men than in women, however the gap is narrowing to the detriment of the latter. The results of scientific research agree to relate trends in incidence and mortality rates to tobacco consumption, including passive smoking. Furthermore, other risk factors are mentioned such as exposure to asbestos in the workplace or to radon for the general population, or even genetic predisposition. However, the weight of these etiological and/or predisposing factors is in no way comparable to that of tobacco in the genesis of lung cancer and the resulting mortality. We provide a literature review in our article on the descriptive and analytical epidemiology of lung cancer.

Growth, Yield and Economic Advantage of Onion (Allium cepa L.) Varieties in R...AI Publications
Haphazard and low soil fertility, low yielding verities and poor agronomic practices are among the major factors constraining onion production in the central rift valley of Ethiopia. Therefore, a field experiment was conducted in East Showa Zone of Adami Tulu Jido Combolcha district in central rift valley areas at ziway from October 2021 to April 2022 to identify appropriate rate of NPSB fertilizer and planting pattern of onion varieties. The experiment was laid out in split plot design of factorial arrangement in three replications. The main effect of NPSB blended fertilizer rates and varieties (red coach and red king) significantly (p<0.01) influenced plant height, leaf length, leaf diameter, leaf number and fresh leaf weight, shoot dry matter per plant, and harvest index. Total dry biomass, bulb diameter, neck diameter, average fresh bulb weight, bulb dry matter, marketable bulb yield, and total bulb yield were significantly (p<0.01) influenced only by the main effect of NPSB blended fertilizer rates. In addition, unmarketable bulb yield was statistically significantly affected (p≥0.05) by the blended fertilizer rates and planting pattern. Moreover, days to 90% maturity of onion was affected by the main factor of NPSB fertilizer rate, variety and planting pattern. The non-fertilized plants in the control treatment were inferior in all parameters except unmarketable bulb yield and harvest index. Significantly higher marketable bulb yield (41 t ha-1) and total bulb yield (41.33 t ha-1) was recorded from 300 kg ha-1 NPSB blended fertilizer rate applied. Double row planting method and hybrid red coach onion variety had also gave higher growth and yields. The study revealed that the highest net benefit of Birr, 878,894 with lest cost of Birr 148,006 by the combinations of 150 kg blended NPSB ha-1 with double row planting method (40cm*20cm*7cm) and red coach variety which can be recommendable for higher marketable bulb yield and economic return of hybrid onion for small scale farmers in the study area. Also, for resource full producers (investors), highest net benefit of Birr 1,205,372 with higher cost (159,628 Birr) by application of 300 kg NPSB ha-1 is recommended as a second option. However, the research should be replicated both in season and areas to more verify the recommendations.

Viral hepatitis is an infection that causes liver inflammation and damage. Several different viruses cause hepatitis, including hepatitis A, B, C, D, and E. The hepatitis A and E viruses typically cause acute infections. The hepatitis B, C, and D viruses can cause acute and chronic infections. Hepatitis A causes only acute infection and typically gets better without treatment after a few weeks. The hepatitis A virus spreads through contact with an infected person’s stool. Protection by getting the hepatitis A vaccine. Hepatitis E is typically an acute infection that gets better without treatment after several weeks. Some types of hepatitis E virus are spread by drinking water contaminated by an infected person’s stool. Other types are spread by eating undercooked pork or wild game. Hepatitis B can cause acute or chronic infection. Recommendation for screening for hepatitis B in pregnant women or in those with a high chance of being infected. Protection from hepatitis B by getting the hepatitis B vaccine. Hepatitis C can cause acute or chronic infection. Doctors usually recommend one-time screening of all adults ages 18 to 79 for hepatitis C. Early diagnosis and treatment can prevent liver damage. The hepatitis D virus is unusual because it can only infect those who have a hepatitis B virus infection. A coinfection occurs when both hepatitis D and hepatitis B infections at the same time. A superinfection occurs already have chronic hepatitis B and then become infected with hepatitis D. The aim of this study is to find the effect of each type of viral hepatitis on the bilirubin (TB , DSB) , and liver enzymes; AST, ALT, ALP,GGT among viral hepatitis patients. 200 patients were selected from the viral hepatitis units in the central public health laboratory in Baghdad city, all the chosen cases were confirmed as a positive samples , they are classified into four equal group each with fifty individual and with a single serological viral hepatitis type either; anti-HAV( IgM ) , HBs Ag , anti-HCV ,or anti-HEV(IgM ).

Storyboard on Acne-Innovative Learning-M. pharm. (2nd sem.) CosmeticsMuskanShingari
Acne is a common skin condition that occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells. It typically manifests as pimples, blackheads, or whiteheads, often on the face, chest, shoulders, or back. Acne can range from mild to severe and may cause emotional distress and scarring in some cases.
**Causes:**
1. **Excess Oil Production:** Hormonal changes during adolescence or certain times in adulthood can increase sebum (oil) production, leading to clogged pores.
2. **Clogged Pores:** When dead skin cells and oil block hair follicles, bacteria (usually Propionibacterium acnes) can thrive, causing inflammation and acne lesions.
3. **Hormonal Factors:** Fluctuations in hormone levels, such as during puberty, menstrual cycles, pregnancy, or certain medical conditions, can contribute to acne.
4. **Genetics:** A family history of acne can increase the likelihood of developing the condition.
**Types of Acne:**
- **Whiteheads:** Closed plugged pores.
- **Blackheads:** Open plugged pores with a dark surface.
- **Papules:** Small red, tender bumps.
- **Pustules:** Pimples with pus at their tips.
- **Nodules:** Large, solid, painful lumps beneath the surface.
- **Cysts:** Painful, pus-filled lumps beneath the surface that can cause scarring.
**Treatment:**
Treatment depends on the severity and type of acne but may include:
- **Topical Treatments:** Such as benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, or retinoids to reduce bacteria and unclog pores.
- **Oral Medications:** Antibiotics or oral contraceptives for hormonal acne.
- **Procedures:** Such as chemical peels, extraction of comedones, or light therapy for more severe cases.
**Prevention and Management:**
- **Cleanse:** Regularly wash skin with a gentle cleanser.
- **Moisturize:** Use non-comedogenic moisturizers to keep skin hydrated without clogging pores.
- **Avoid Irritants:** Such as harsh cosmetics or excessive scrubbing.
- **Sun Protection:** Use sunscreen to prevent exacerbation of acne scars and inflammation.
Acne treatment can take time, and consistency in skincare routines and treatments is crucial. Consulting a dermatologist can help tailor a treatment plan that suits individual needs and reduces the risk of scarring or long-term skin damage.

Skin is the largest organ of the human body, serving crucial functions that include protection, sensation, regulation, and synthesis. Structurally, it consists of three main layers: the epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis (subcutaneous layer).
1. **Epidermis**: The outermost layer primarily composed of epithelial cells called keratinocytes. It provides a protective barrier against environmental factors, pathogens, and UV radiation.
2. **Dermis**: Located beneath the epidermis, the dermis contains connective tissue, blood vessels, hair follicles, and sweat glands. It plays a vital role in supporting and nourishing the epidermis, regulating body temperature, and housing sensory receptors for touch, pressure, temperature, and pain.
3. **Hypodermis**: Also known as the subcutaneous layer, it consists of fat and connective tissue that anchors the skin to underlying structures like muscles and bones. It provides insulation, cushioning, and energy storage.
Skin performs essential functions such as regulating body temperature through sweat production and blood flow control, synthesizing vitamin D when exposed to sunlight, and serving as a sensory interface with the external environment.
Maintaining skin health is crucial for overall well-being, involving proper hygiene, hydration, protection from sun exposure, and avoiding harmful substances. Skin conditions and diseases range from minor irritations to chronic disorders, emphasizing the importance of regular care and medical attention when needed.

Test Microorganisms
The test organisms used were standard strains of pathogenic
bacteria. They include strains of Staphylococcusaureus
(ATCC 55620), Salmonella typhi (ATCC) Escherichia coli
(ATCC 23922),Klebsiellapneumonia (ATCC
15380),Bacillus subtilis(ATCC 11778)Pseudomonas
aeruginosa (ATCC 27853) and Proteus vulgaris (ATCC
13325). The bacterial isolates were cultured in slanted
Mueller Hinton agar in bijou bottles and transported at a
low temperature to microbiology laboratory
AdekunleAjasin University, AkungbaAkoko (AAUA),
Ondo state and incubated in an incubator for reactivation of
the bacteria. They were then sub-cultured and stored in the
refrigerator for further tests (Osuntokun, 2015).
2.4.1 Preparation of test organisms
Slants of the various organisms were reconstituted using
aseptic condition, using a sterile wire loop, approximately
one isolated colony of each pure culture was transferred into
5ml of sterile nutrient broth and incubated for 24 hours.
After incubation, 0.1ml of the isolated colony was
transferred into 9.9ml of sterile distilled water contained in
each test tube using a sterile needle and syringe, and then
mixed properly. The liquid now serve as a source of
inoculum containing approximately 106
cfu/ml of bacterial
suspension (Osuntokun, 2015).
Extraction Method of Polyalthialongifolia
About 250 ml of N-Hexane was poured into a round bottom
flask. 10 g of the powdered bark and leaf sample was placed
in the thimble and was inserted in the centre of the soxhlet
extractor. The extractor was then heated to and held
constant at 65°C. As the solvent begins boiling; the vapor
rose through the vertical tube of the extractor into the
condenser at the top of extractor. The liquid condensate
then dripped into the filter paper thimble in the centre which
contained the solid sample from which oil is extracted. The
extract seeped through the pores of the thimble and filled
the siphon tube, where it flowed back down into the round
bottom flask. This was allowed to continue for 5 hours. It
was then removed from the tube. Afterwards, the solvent
was separated from the oil using rotary evaporator. Then

cooled in the desiccators and weighed again to determine
the amount of oil extracted. Further extraction was carried
out at 30 min intervals until the sample weight at further
extraction and the previous weight became equal. At the
end of the extraction, the resulting mixture containing
thePolyalthialongifoliaoil was heated to recover solvent
from the oil (Musa et al., 2016).
2.6Antibacterial Sensitivity Test of Polyalthialongifolia
2.6.1 Preparation and Standardization of Inoculum
Suspension
Direct colony suspension technique was used for the
standardization and preparation of inoculum. Pure cultures
of the test organisms were transferred into sterile screw-
capped McCartney bottles containing normal saline (0.90%
w/w) using a flamed inoculating loop. A suspension with a
turbidity equivalent to 0.5 McFarland standards was also
prepared at the same time to serve as a reference for
turbidity. To achieve equal turbidity, both the reference and
inoculum suspensions were placed against a white card with
black stripes. Turbidity was observed with the unaided eye.
Standardized inoculums were refrigerated(Osuntokun,
2017).
2.6.2 Preparation of antimicrobial (plant extract)
concentrations
Pure N-hexane extracts of both the leaf and bark of
Polyalthialongifolia were weighed to ascertain total yield
after plant extracts. 1000mg (1g) of both plant extracts were
dissolved in 10ml of solvent (containing 7.5ml of water and
2.5 ml of DMSO) to achieve a stock concentration of
100mg/ml.

Six other sterile McCartney bottles (3 for each plant)
containing 5ml of water were used to carry out two-fold
dilutions (log2). To achieve this, 5ml of the stock
concentration was dispensed into a sterile McCartney bottle
containing 5ml of water. This yielded a concentration of
50mg/ml. this procedure was repeated for each plant until a
concentration of 12.5mg/ml was achieved for each plant
extract. At the end, concentrations of 100mg/ml, 50mg/ml,
25mg/ml and 12.5mg/ml of both leaf and bark of
Polyalthialongifoliawere obtained. These bottles were
stored in the refrigerator at -4o
C (El Astalet al., 2005).A
standard antibiotic control was also prepared using the
broad spectrum antibiotics ciprofloxacin (100μg).
2.6.3 Antimicrobial assay of Polyalthialongifolia
The agar diffusion method was used to screen the
antimicrobial activity. In vitro antimicrobial activity was
screened by using Mueller Hinton Agar (MHA). The MHA
plates were prepared by pouring 5 ml of molten media into
sterile Petri-plates. The plates were allowed to solidify
along with a 2.0 McFarland standard suspension of the test
organism for 5 minutes. The different concentrations of
extracts (12.5, 25, 50 and 100 mg/disc) were loaded onto
the agar after boring 6mm holes using a cork borer.
Theplates were kept for incubation at 370
C for 24 hrs. At
the end of incubation, inhibition zones formed around the
disc were measured with transparent ruler in millimeter.
These studies were performed in duplicates (Osuntokun,
2014).
2.7 Phytochemical Analysis of Polyalthialongifolia
2.7.1 Qualitative Phytochemical Analysis
2.7.1.1 Test for Reducing Sugars
1ml of the plant extract was mixed with Fehling A and
Fehling B separately; a brown color with Fehling B and a
green color with Fehling A indicated the presence of
reducing sugars.
Test for Alkaloids
Plant extracts were half diluted with NH4OH and lixiviated
with ethyl acetate for 24hours at room temperature.
Theorganic phase was separated from the acidified filtrate
and was basified with ammonium hydroxide (NH4OH) at
pH 11-12. It was then extracted with chloroform (3X),
condensed by evaporation and submitted for
chromatographic analysis. Alkaloidspots were separated
into the elution phase using the solvent mixture chloroform
and methanol (15:1). Appearance of orange spots after
spraying with Dragendorff’s reagents indicates a positive
result(Mallikharjunaet al., 2007).
Test for Anthraquinone (Borntrager's test)
About 50mg of plant extract was heated with 1ml of 10%
ferric chloride (FeCl3) solution and 1ml of concentrated
hydrochloric acid, after which the extract was cooled and
filtered. The filtrate was shaken with an equal amount of
diethyl ether. Further extraction with concentrated ammonia
was done to remove ethyl ether. The presence of a pink or
deep red coloration of aqueous layer indicates a positive
result (Kumar et al., 2007).
Test for Cardiac glycosides (TLC method)
Powdered test samples were extracted with 70% ethanol
using a rotary shaker (180 thaws/min) for 10hr. 70% lead
acetate was added to the filtrate and centrifuged at 5000rpm
for 10 min. Further centrifugation was done for the
supernatant by adding 6.3% Na2CO3 at 10000 rpm for
10min. The retained supernatant was re-dissolved in
chloroform and use for chromatography. Glycosides were
eluted out using a solvent system that comprise Ethyl

(Onwukaemeet al., 2007).
Test for Flavonoid(TLC method)
1g of powdered plant extract was extracted with 10ml
methanol on water bath (60°C for 5min). The filtrate was
condensed and filtered by evaporation. A mixture of water
and Ethyl acetate (10:1 ml) was mixed thoroughly.
Retainedethyl acetate phase and use for chromatography.
Elution was done by using chloroform and methanol (19:1)
solvent mixture to detect flavonoid spot.The colour and hRf
values of these spots were recorded under ultraviolet
(UV254nm) light(Kumar et al., 2007).
Test for Saponin(TLC method)
Two grams of powdered test samples was added to 10 ml
70% Ethanol by refluxing for 10 min. The filtrate was
condensed and enriched with saturated n-Butanol, and mix
thoroughly. With the retained butanol, extract was
condensed and used for chromatography. Saponinswere
separated using chloroform, glacial acetic acid, methanol
and water (64:34:12:8) solvent mixture. The colour (yellow)
and hRf values of these spots were recorded by exposing
eluted chromatogram to the iodine vapours (Mallikharjunaet
al., 2007).
Test for Steroid(TLC method)
Two grams of powdered test samples was dissolved in 10ml
methanol in water bath (80°C for 15 min). The condensed
filtrate was used for chromatography. The sterols were
eluted using a solvent system of chloroform, glacial acetic
acid, methanol and water (64:34:12:8) solvent mixture. The
colour and hRf values of these spots were recorded under
visible light after spraying the plates with anisaldehyde-
sulphuric acid reagent and heating (100°C for 6
min)(Mallikharjunaet al., 2007).
Test for Tannin (Braemer’s test)
To 10% alcoholic ferric chloride, 2-3ml of methanolic
extract (1:1) was added. The appearance of a dark blue or
greenish grey coloration of the solution indicates a positive
result (Parekh and Chanda, 2007)
Quantitative phytochemical analysis of
Polyalthialongifolia
Saponins
About 20grams each of dried plant samples were ground
and, put into a conical flask after which 100 ml of 20 %
aqueous ethanol were added. The mixtures were heated
using a hot water bath. At about 55oC, for 4 hour with
continuous stirring, after which the mixture were filtered
and the residue re-extracted with 200 ml of 20% ethanol.
The combined extracts were reduced to 40 ml over a water
bath at about 90°C. The concentrate was transferred into a
250 ml separating funnel and 20 rnl of diethyl ether were
added and then shaken vigorously. The aqueous layers were
recovered while the ether layer was discarded. The
purification process was repeated three times. 60 rnl of n-
butanol was added. The combined n-butanol extracts were
washed twice with 10 m1 of 5% aqueous sodium chloride.
The remaining solution was heated in a water bath. After
evaporation, the samples were dried in the oven to a
constant weight; the saponin content was calculated as
percentage of the starting material. (Obadoniet al., 2001)
Flavonoids
About 10 g of the plant sample were extracted repeatedly
with 100 ml of 80% aqueous methanol, at room
temperature. The whole solution were filtered through
Whatman filter paper No 1. The filtrates were later
transferred into a crucible and evaporated into dryness over
a water bath; the dry content were weighed to a constant
weigh. (Krishnaiahet al., 2009)
Tannins
About 500 mg of the plant sample were weighed into a 50
ml plastic bottle. 50 ml of distilled water was added and
shaken for 1 hour on a mechanical shaker. This was filtered
into a 50 ml volumetric flask and made up to the marked
level. Then, 5 ml of the filtrate was transferred into a test
tube and mixed with 2 ml of 0.1 M FeCl in 0.1 M Hcl and
0.008 M potassium ferrocyanide. The absorbances were
measured at 120 nm within 10 minutes. The tannins content
was calculated using a standard curve of extract.
(Harbourne, 2005).
Alkaloids
Five grams of the plant sample were weighed into a 250 ml
beaker and 200ml of 10% acetic acid in ethanol was then be
added, the reaction mixture were covered and allowed to
stand for 4 hour. These were filtered and the extract will be
concentrated on a water bath to one-quarter of the original
volume. Concentrated ammonium hydroxide was added
drop-wise to the extract until the precipitation is complete.
The whole solution were allowed to settle and the
precipitate was collected, washed with dilute ammonium
hydroxide and then filtered; the residue being the alkaloid,
which was dried and weighed to a constant
mass.(Harbourne, 2005).
GC-MS Analysis of Polyalthialongifolia
Polyalthialongifolia oil was analyzed using GC/MS
(Shimadzu capillary GC-quadrupole MS system QP 5000)
with two fused silica capillary column DB-5 (30 μm, 0.25

detector (FID) which was operated in EI mode at 70 eV.
Injector and detector temperatures were set at 220°C and
250°C, respectively. One micro-liter essential oil solution
in hexane was injected and analyzed with the column held
initially at 60°C for 2 min and then increased by 3°C/min
up to 300°C. Helium was employed as carrier gas (1
ml/min). The relative amount of individual components of
the total oil is expressed as percentage peak area relative to
total peak area. Qualitative identification of the different
constituents was performed by comparison of their relative
retention times and mass spectra with those of authentic
reference compounds, or by retention indices (RI) and mass
spectra (He, 2002).

IV. DISCUSSION
Herbal medicine in developing countries is commonly used
for the traditional treatment of health problems. In recent
years multiple drug resistance in human pathogenic
microorganisms has developed due to the indiscriminate use
of commercial antimicrobial drugs commonly used in the
treatment of infectious diseases, making it a global growing
problem (Davis, 1994).Therefore there is a need to develop
alternative antimicrobial drugs for the treatment of
infections obtained from various sources such as medicinal
plants.(Ahmmad, 1998).
Essential Oils are slightly more active against gram-positive
than gram-negative bacteria (Delaquiset al., 2002; Pintoreet
al., 2002; Harpazet al., 2003). It was observed from this
study that the essential oil of Polyalthialongifolia stem bark
showed antibacterial activity against all the test bacteria
used in the study. Staphylococcus aureus was observed to
be the most susceptible organism to the essential oil extract
of the stem bark having 18mm zone of inhibition at
100mg/ml and 10mm zone of inhibition at 12.5mg/ml. this
was followed by Bacillus subtilis with 14mm zone of
inhibition at 100mg/ml and 8mm zone of inhibition at
12.5mg/l. Pseudomonas aeruginosawas observed to have
the least susceptibility to the essential oil extract of this
plant with 5mm zone of inhibition at 100mg/ml and 3mm
zone of inhibition at 50mg/ml. this goes in line with the
finding of Parekh, 2007,who reported susceptibility of
staphylococcus aureus to the essential oil extract of
Polyalthialongifolia.
It was observed from the essential oil extract of the leaf of
Polyalthialongifolia that Staphylococcus aureus was the
most susceptible organism with 14mm zone of inhibition at
100mg/ml and 7mm zone of inhibition at 12.5mg/ml. the
least susceptible organism to the essential oil extract of the
leaf was Escherichia coli with 3mm zone of inhibition at
100mg/ml and 1mm zone of inhibition at 50mg/ml. this
goes in line with the observation of Harpaz et al., 2003 who
also reported the antimicrobial activity of the essential oil of
Polyalthialongifolia against some pathogens.
The antimicrobial activity of this Polyalthialongifolia.could
be attributed to the presence of certain bioactive
components such as alkaloid, tannins and flavonoid. It
could also be due to the fact that the solvent (N-Hexane)
used in the study was able to extract the active bio
constituents present in Polyalthialongifolia.,and which is
able to exert antimicrobial effect against the tested bacteria.
Also, the antibacterial property could be because of the
concentration used in the study, i.e. 100mg/ml
concentration was enough to exert antibacterial effect
against the test bacteria
The phytochemicals tested are known to exhibit medicinal
activity and physiological activity. Alkaloids are an
important drug source and have been reported to possess
antimicrobial, antioxidant, and cytotoxic activity (Rahmanet
al., 2009). Medicinally, tannins are used in antidiarrhoeal,
haemostatic, and antihaemorrhoidal preparation. Saponins
are glycosides of triterpenes, steroids or steroidal alkaloids
found in plants. They are useful in lowering cholesterol
(hypocholesterolemic property), as antioxidants, and as
antidiabetic and anti-inflammatory agent.
Generally, majority of the secondary metabolites studies
and flavonoid in leaf and stem bark parts of
Polyalthialongifolia have present with higher amount in
methanolic extract than that of the other solvents. However,
flavonoids and saponins were rich in ethyl acetate extracts.
It is explained that the polarity level and species nature are
playing major role in extracting the secondary secondary
metabolites (Ghasemzadeh et al., 2011).
The qualitative phytochemical screening of
Polyalthialongifoliaextracts of bark and leaf using methanol
(Table 3.3) revealed that the crude extracts contains
alkaloids, phenol, tannis, saponins and reducing sugar.
Anthraquinone is not detected in the bark but present in the
leaf extract, while flavonoids is present in the bark but
absent in the leaf, steroids is present in the bark of the plant
but absent in leaf. In Table 3.4, the qualitative
phytochemical analysis of Polyalthialongifolia leaf and
stem bark using ethyl acetate, from this table, it was
observed that cardiac glycosides, anthraquinones, phenol,
tannins, saponins are present in both bark and leaf extract.
Alkaloids is present in bark but absent in leaf extract,
steroids is present in bark but absent in leaf. Also reducing
sugar is present in bark but absent in leaf. Dichloromethane
was also used as solvent and this revealed that cardiac
glycoside, steroids, tannins, saponins are present in boththe
bark and the leaf extract while alkaloids is present in bark
but absent in leaf and reducing sugar is present in bark and
absent in leaf this goes in line with the observation of Singh
et al., 2002.
These secondary metabolites are reported to have many
biological and therapeutic uses, so this plant is expected to
have many medicinal uses. Phytochemical screening in
using n-hexane as the solvent revealed the presence of
cardiac glycosides, anthraquinone, phenol, tannins,
saponins. While alkaloids is absent in bark but present in
leaf, flavonoids is present in leaf but absent in bark.

Reducing sugar is absent in bark but present in leaf
(Harbourne, 2005).
Quantitative phytochemical screening shows that phytate is
higher in methanolic extract of bark and leaf of
Polyalthialongifolia while the lowest is alkaloid of bark
extract and saponin is not detected in the stem bark of the
plant. It was observed that methanol extract registered the
higher percentage of yield. It may be due to high polarity of
methanolic solvent which can draw high variety of plant
constituents than the other solvents did (Pulsamyet al.,
2011).
Steroids display analgesic properties (Rupasingheet al.,
2003; Sayyahet al., 2004, Malairajanet al., 2006; Tamil
Selvanet al., 2012). Glycosides are drugs used in the
treatment of congestive heart failure and cardiac arrhythmia
and are found as secondary metabolites in medicinal plants
Someanthraquinones have been reported to possess
antiosteoporotic activity (Li et al., 2009).
This study revealed that the extract of Polyalthialongifolia
contained many important phytochemical constituents with
various medicinal properties. The presence of biologically
important phytochemicals in the Polyalthialongifolia
extracts may contribute to their reported medicinal values
and indicates that it is a potential source of the development
of drugs (Edeogaet al., 2005).The potential for developing
antimicrobials from higher plants appears rewarding, as it
will lead to the development of a phytomedicine to act
against microbes.
Many plants have been used because of their antimicrobial
traits, which are due to compounds synthesized in the
secondary metabolism of the plant; such as phenols
(Kazmiet al.,1994), essential oils (Cosentinoet al.,1999).
terpenoids (Habtemariamet al.,1993; Taylor et al.,1996),
alkaloids (Omulokoliet al.,1997) and flavonoids (Batista et
al.,1994). Preliminary phytochemical analysis during the
present study also ascertains the presence of some potential
group of bioactive substances (Dafereraet al.,2003).
Compounds present in oil of Polyalthialongifolia include
long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (hexadecanoic acid)
are attracting attention as potential new topical treatments
for gram-positive infections due to their antimicrobial
potency and anti-inflammatory properties. The compounds
are bactericidal. Fatty acids are attracting attention as
potential therapeutic antimicrobial agents due to their
potency, broad spectrum of activity and the lack of classical
resistance mechanisms against the actions of these
compounds (Desbois, 2010).In particular, various long-
chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFAs), which are
found naturally at high levels in many marine organisms
(Berge et al., 2005).
Fifteen peaks were detected in the GC-MS Chromatograms
of Polyalthialongifolia bark extract. There were two
antimicrobial compounds that were present in considerable
amount(47.75%) and another thirteen antimicrobial
compounds comprised of (52.05%). A component
hexadecanoic acid present in the oil has antimicrobial
properties. Other minor compounds such as pentadecenoic
acid, methyl stearate, diisoocty phthalate has anti oxidant
activity. Azulene has antifungal activity.
6- octadecenoic acid which is the most abundant has
antimicrobial activity possess antibacterial, antifungal and
antioxidant activity, anticarcinogenic-exist in human blood
and urine and sense as endogenous peroxisome proliferator
as also reported by Kumar et al., 2010.Hexadecanoic acid
as reported by Mahmoodet al., 2009 revealed that it
possesses antifungal, antioxidant,
hypocholesterolemicnematicide, pesticide, haemolytic, 5-
Alpha reductase inhibitor, potent antimicrobial
activity.Diisoocty phthalate also as reported by Kumar et
al., 2010 revealed thatit possesses antifungal, antibacterial,
antiviral, and antioxidant activities.The medicinal activity
of Polyalthialongifolia bark is attributed to the antimicrobial
compounds present in the bark extract (Desbois, 2010).
V. CONCLUSION
In conclusion, Polyalthialongifolia possess phytochemicals
which offers potential antibacterial property against the
selected clinical isolates. The study ascertains the presence
of some potential group of bioactive substance.
Polyalthialongifolia is moreso a medicinally important herb
used in the traditional system of medicine and an ancient
remedy to be explored for novel therapeutic uses.
Polyalthialongifolia also contains essential oil which is
useful in treatment of some infections. Therefore it is
concluded that Polyalthialongifolia oil should be further
studied phytochemically to elucidate the active principle in
the bark and leaf in which can be used as a leading
antibacterial agent.
