“…Their antiinflammatory, antifungal, anticancer, and antibacterial actions have also been reported (37). A review article on Mitracarpus spp (38) reported studies on phytochemical screening of the leaf extract of Mitracarpus vilosus which revealed potent saponin, steroids, and cardiac glycoside constituents (39,40). Ibrahim et al who explored the antibacterial efficacy of Mitracarpus vilosus extract on some selected multidrug resistance clinical isolates also reported the presence of saponin, tannins alkaloids, terpenoids, steroids, anthraquinones, flavonoids, and phenols in the acetone extract (41).…”
