These plants can manufacture a wide variety of natural chemicals. The present study aimed to evaluate the antibacterial activity and antioxidant capacity of ethanolic extract of four plant species (&lt;em&gt;Zizyphus lotus, Lavandula dentata, Ruta graveolens, and Dodonaea viscosa&lt;/em&gt;). Using disc diffusion and serial dilution procedures, the antibacterial abilities of these EtPEs were evaluated. The antioxidant properties were evaluated by the FRAP method and the Folin-Ciocalteu technique was used to measure the total phenolic content. Different plant extracts showed different inhibitory effects on the tested bacteria in a dose-dependent manner. Among the tested plant extracts, &lt;em&gt;D. viscose &lt;/em&gt;exhibited the highest antibacterial activity against&lt;em&gt; P. vulgaris &lt;/em&gt;and&lt;em&gt; S. aureus,&lt;/em&gt; with a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) value of 0.5 mg/ml. On the other hand, R. graveolens displayed the highest quantity of phenolic compounds and demonstrated the highest antioxidant activity. Notably, there was a positive correlation observed between the antioxidant activity of the plant extracts and their total phenolic content. In conclusion, the findings of this study suggest that the tested plant extracts hold potential as promising sources of natural antibacterial and antioxidant agents.&lt;/p&gt;

The present study shows a detailed analysis of pharmacognostic evaluation of leaf powder and root that will be used for the purpose of identification, authentication, and consequent standardization. &lt;strong&gt;Materials and Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;Both the leaf and root were evaluated for their macroscopic and microscopic features. The physicochemical parameters of the leaf powder and its phytochemical screening were done based on its total phenols and flavonoïd content. Artemisinin content was also performed using weigh method after extraction. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; Physicochemical evaluation yielded water, alcohol, acetone, methanol, chloroform, and petroleum ether soluble extractive values which are 2.25%, 1.25%, 4.22%, 8.12% and 3.77% (w/w), respectively. Fluorescence analysis imparted characteristic colors to the leaf powder when observed under visible, UV light 254 and 365 nm. Phytochemical screening of leaf powder showed the presence of alkaloïds, flavonoïd, and anthracene derivatives. Total phenols and flavonoïd content were 32.5 ± 0.67 mEq Gallic Acid/100 mg and 11.3 ± 1.52. mgEq Quercetin/100 mg, respectively. Artemisinin content value was 0.009% (w/w). &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; Various pharmacognostic parameters which were evaluated assisted in identification and standardization of &lt;em&gt;A. annua &lt;/em&gt;leaf in powder and crude form.&lt;/p&gt;

The whole fruit and stem bark extracts were partitioned into n-hexane, dichloromethane, ethyl acetate and aqueous fractions. The n-hexane fraction of the stem bark and whole fruit were analyzed on GC-MS. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; The stem bark had the highest phenolic content of 29.81&amp;plusmn; 1.18 GAE mg/g. Similarly, free radical scavenging activities assay showed the stem bark to be most active with IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; of 6.20 &amp;plusmn; 1.51&amp;mu;g/ml, better than the standard, ascorbic acid with IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; of 11.51 &amp;plusmn; 0.3&amp;mu;g/ml. The n-hexane partitioned fractions of the fruit and stem bark on GC-MS analysis showed 9 prominent compounds including 9,17-Octadecadienal (5.43%), 3-((4Z,7Z)-Heptadeca-4,7-dien-1-yl) phenol(12%), (Z)-3-(Heptadec-10-en-1-yl) phenol (11.76%), n-Hexadecanoic acid (7.07%) and 13 compounds including 9,17-Octadecadienal (20.51%),trans-13-Octadecenoic acid (12.61%), Pentadecanoic acid (8.3%), n-Hexadecanoic acid(15.24%). &lt;strong&gt;Conclusions:&lt;/strong&gt; This study provides justification for some of the folkloric use of &lt;em&gt;Spondias purpurea.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original Article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">941</style></section><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Taiwo Olayemi Elufioye*, Tomayo Ireti Berida&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
