Alchornea cordifolia is one of the medicinal plants used in treatment of several medical challenges in Nigeria. The study was carried out to document the medicinal values of different parts of A. cordifolia in Ekebedi Oboro ancient Kingdom, and profile its bioactive constituents. The ethno-botanical survey involved oral interview of 81 randomly selected traditional medicine doctors and natives on medicinal values of A. cordifolia. The survey showed that A cordifolia is a major herb used in the treatment of various diseases in the ancient Kingdom and it is prescribed in different treatment regimens; coughs, bronchitis, post-partum bleeding, lacerations, wounds, vaginitis, diarrhea, sickle cell anaemia, venereal diseases including gonorhhea, and syphilis, and prostatitis. GC-MS fingerprinting was adopted to determine the bioactive constituents of methanol leaf extract of the plant. Phytochemical fingerprinting revealed the presence of several bioactive compounds as the major active ingredients of the plant. A total of 27 fatty acids and volatile hydrocarbons were detected in the leaf extract of the plant with 9, 12-Octadecadienoic acid (Z,Z)- methyl ester (18.42%), 9-Octadecanoic acid methyl ester (19.93%), Dodecanoic acid 1,2,3-propanetrieyl (15.87%) as most abundant ingredients. These phytochemical compounds of A. cordifolia possibly underscored its antimicrobial and therapeutic action and explains why natives use them in traditional medicine.

Objective: Wormwood (Artemisia absinthium L.) is a valuable medicinal plant that has been used for the wound healing since ancient times. Hydrogel dressings are often preferred for wound care in treatment. In this study, the effects of chitosan-based hydrogel dressings containing wormwood were investigated in rats with burn wound model for the first time. Material-Method: Certain phenolic compounds in wormwood extracts were detected by LC-MS/MS and antioxidant activities were calculated using the DPPH. The antimicrobial activity of the dressings was tested using the disk diffusion method. Tissues taken from 48 female Sprague-Dawley rats were histopathologically examined at day 3rd and 21st. Skin tissue cytokine levels were measured using ELISA. All data obtained from histopathological examination and cytokine levels were statistically evaluated. Results: Fifteen phenolic compounds were quantitatively determined in wormwood extracts. The antioxidant activities of high-, medium-, and low-dose wormwood extracts were as 91,1% ± 0,054, 89,6% ± 0,012 and 84,1% ± 0,02, respectively. The hydrogel dressings did not show any antimicrobial activity against S. aureus (ATCC 29213) or P. aeruginosa (ATCC 27853). Granulation tissue formation, collagen increase, and regular scar appearance were higher in the all three wormwood groups. Wound contraction was completed and remodeling phase started at day 21st, especially in the high-dose wormwood treatment group. Tissue cytokine levels were determined in pg/ml in all groups. Conclusion: It was determined that A. absinthium L. can promote wound healing through various mechanisms of action and shows immunomodulatory effects, and is appropriate for use as a wound dressing in the form of a chitosan-based hydrogel.

Objective: The rise in multiple antibiotic resistant microorganisms has led to a decline in the efficacy of many antibiotics, prompting the investigation of alternative solutions such as medicinal plants. To tackle this concerning issue, this study was undertaken to evaluate the phytochemical composition, antibacterial activity, and toxicological characteristics of Garcinia kola extracts against multidrug-resistant bacteria commonly found in clinical settings. Material-Method: The cold maceration technique was employed to extract the root and leaf of Garcinia kola using water and methanol. The extracts were then subjected to phytochemical screening. To evaluate the extracts' potential to inhibit bacterial growth, five multidrug-resistant isolates were utilized in this study. Agar well assay was used to determine the zones of inhibition. The Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) and Minimum Bactericidal Concentration (MBC) were determined using the broth macro dilution technique. Additionally, Brine shrimp lethality assay was conducted to determine the lethal concentration (LC50) of the extracts. The extracts were also combined for synergism. Results: The investigation found that the root extract in methanol had the highest yield at 25.58%. All four extracts contained ten out of the fourteen tested phytochemicals. The methanol leaf and root extracts exhibited the highest and lowest inhibition zones of 20mm and 9mm against Staphylococcus aureus, respectively. The MIC values ranged from 250 to 600 mg/ml, indicating broad-spectrum antibacterial activity. The cytotoxicity test showed a range of 33.03 to 126.3µg/mL for the aqueous and methanol extracts. Conclusion: Although Garcinia kola shows potential as a source of antibacterial compounds, caution should be exercised due to its toxic effects.
