“…This non-conformity in the trend of quantitative results regarding which sample, either the test sample or the control sample, have higher amounts of phytochemicals throughout suggest an element of specificity of affected phytochemicals for their accumulation in plant parts. The results of the current study are therefore in agreement with the findings of Gololo et al [21] on the specificity of the accumulation of phytochemicals in plants. The effect of road-dust pollution on the quality and quantity of phytochemicals in the leaves and roots of B. dinteri is reported here for the first time.…”

Medicinal plants in South Africa have been utilized for many years by indigenous people as remedies for human diseases because they contain components of therapeutic value. Even today more than 60 % of South Africans depend on the effectiveness of traditional medicinal plants as compared to synthetic medicines [1]. Diseases that have been managed traditionally using medicinal plants include malaria, epilepsy, infertility, convulsion, diarrhoea and other complications caused by fungal and bacterial infections [2]. The importance and efficacy of medicinal plants depends on the nature of phytochemicals they possess [3]. The usage of medicinal plants in traditional healthcare system is predominated by a phenomenon of convenient plant collection practice, based on easiness of access. This gives

“…The identi ed phytochemicals suggest a similar composition to other plants within the genus such as G. Tenax(Kumar et al 2022), G. tiliifolia(Malhotra et al 2020), G. asiatica(Sinha et al 2015;Akram et al 2019). The study con rms earlier ndings on the occurrence of tannins, saponins, avonoids, anthraquinones and alkaloids in G. ava extracts(Gololo et al 2016) while also reporting the presence of glycosides and steroids.…”

Background Grewia flava infusions are consumed to assist with kidney problems and stomach ailments, however, there are no scientific data on the phytochemical profile or biological properties of the extract to validate its folklore use. Thus, the study aim was to assess the phytochemical profile, antioxidant, and antimicrobial activities of Grewia flava twigs extracts. Results The antioxidant activities of the extracts were assayed using 1,1-Diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radical radical scavenging, reducing power, metal chelation, and total phenolic and flavonoid content assays. The agar well diffusion and microdilution methods were used for crude extracts and fractions (from 80% methanol extract) antimicrobial screening against P. aeruginosa, S. aureus, E. coli, B. subtilis, A. niger, and R. oryzae. The 80% methanol twig extract (250 ± 2 GAE/g) exhibited a high concentration of phenolic content followed by distilled water extract (192 ± 2 mg GAE/g) and the hexane extract (43.1 ± 0.2 mg GAE/g). Fraction 14 of the methanol twig extract exhibited MIC values of 0.21–0.31 mg/mL against all test microorganisms. The roots and twigs extracts exhibited significant antioxidant and antimicrobial activities, which were attributed to the extracts bioactive phytochemical compounds such as alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, steroids, glycosides, anthraquinones, and tannins that were detected in the extracts. Also the roots and twigs non-polar extracts were subjected to gas chromatography–mass spectrometry analysis, which identified several bioactive compounds like betulin, β-amyrin, palmitic acid, lupenone, and phytol, highlighting the potential of the plant species as a botanical drug. Conclusions The study supports the traditional use of plant roots and twigs for treating various ailments, indicating its medicinal value. For sustainable harvesting of Grewia flava, twigs maybe used in place of roots; which to avoid killing the whole plant. However, a comparison of active compounds quantities in twigs relative to those in roots is crucial.
