Phytochemical, Antibacterial And Cytotoxic Evaluation Of Raphiostylis Beninensis [Hook F. Ex Planch] Stem Bark Extracts
Methanol and ethyl acetate (stem-bark) extracts of lessThan i greaterThan Raphiostylis beninensis lessThan /i greaterThan were investigated for their phytochemical, antibacterial and cytotoxic properties. Phytochemical analysis of ethyl acetate extracts of lessThan i greaterThan R lessThan /i greaterThan . lessThan i greaterThan beninensis lessThan /i greaterThan revealed alkaloids (1.10 ± 0.20 mg/kg), flavonoids (6.10 ± 0.10 mg/kg), saponins (5.30 ±0.15 mg/kg) and tannins (2.10 ± 0.20 mg/kg). Methanol of extract lessThan i greaterThan R lessThan /i greaterThan . lessThan i greaterThan beninensis lessThan /i greaterThan contained alkaloids (1.50 ±0.10 mg/kg), flavonoids (6.24 ± 0.20 mg/kg), saponins (7.50 ±0.10 mg/kg) and tannins (1.32 ± 0.03 mg/kg). The stem bark methanol and ethyl acetate extracts of lessThan i greaterThan Raphiostylis beninensis lessThan /i greaterThan inhibited all tested strains lessThan i greaterThan Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, Salmonella typhii and Staphyllococcus aureus lessThan /i greaterThan at 20 mg/ml and 50 mg/ml respectively. The brine shrimp lethality test on the methanol and ethyl acetate extracts of lessThan i greaterThan Raphiostylis beninensis lessThan /i greaterThan revealed cytotoxic activities with LC lessThan sub greaterThan 50 lessThan /sub greaterThan of 3.20 and 2.50 µg/ml.
