  Natural compounds of plant origin have continued to gain prominence as an essential substitute for modern synthetic drug agents due to low toxicity and effect treatment or/ and management of diseases and infections by the former. The aim and objective of this study is to investigate the phytochemical constituents, in vitro antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of Methanol Extract of Baphia longipedicellata leaf (MEBLL). Fresh leaves of B. longipedicellata were procured, cleaned, air-dried (25°C-28°C) for 30 days, pulverized and extracted in methanol by soaking 10 g of the leaves in 1.5 Litres methanol for 72 hours. Thereafter, it was filtered and concentrated in in a rotary evaporator at reduced temperature of 40°C. The extract was screened for possible phytochemicals present in it, different antioxidant models and antimicrobial activ.. View more»
