“…Chrysophyllum albidum is not known to be cytotoxic but it contains pharmacologically active ␤-carboline alkaloids (Idowu et al, 2003). Ethnobotanical reports showed that Ficus exasperata has anti-inflammatory, antihelminthic, antiulcer and CNS related activities.…”

“…As part of our ongoing investigations on antioxidants and antimicrobials from plants (Adesina et al, 2000;Idowu et al, 2003;Adeloye et al, 2005), we report a doubly linked A-type proanthocyanidin trimer (3) along with cinnamtannin B-1 (4), procyanidin A2 (2), epicatechin (1), kaempferol-7-O-a-L-rhamnoside (5), kaempferol-3-O-a-L-rhamnoside (6), quercetin-3-O-a-L-rhamnopyranoside (7), and kaempferol-3,7-O-a-L-dirhamnnoside (8) all of which were isolated for the first time from the leaves of I. coccinea.…”

Background The inhibition efficiency of Chrysophyllum albidum extract in controlling corrosion of mild steel in 1 M HCl has been evaluated by weight loss, potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance techniques at 303 K. The effect of immersion time and temperature on inhibition efficiency of the extract was also studied. Results Inhibition was found to increase with increasing concentration of the extract but decrease with increasing time and temperature. Data from electrochemical measurements suggest that the extract functioned by adsorption of the organic matter on the metal/corrodent interface, inhibiting both the anodic and cathodic half reactions of the corrosion process. The increase in concentration of the inhibitor causes an increase in the activation energy and a decrease in the exponential factor k. Conclusion The plant extracts follow Langmuir adsorption isotherm. Moreover, the process of adsorption is spontaneous, stable and considered to be physical adsorption. The thermodynamic properties recorded suggest that the process of film formation is higher than the destruction of the metal surface and that the adsorption process is exothermic.
