Qualitative phytochemical screening and antipyretic activity of methanolic stem bark extract of Mangifera indica in wistar rats

Abstract: Mangifera indica stem bark is traditionally used in management of fever especially in meru community of Kenya though its antipyretic activity is not yet evaluated. The present study aim was to evaluate the phytochemical constituents and antipyretic activity of the methanolic extract of Mangifera indica. The standard methods were used to qualitatively analyze the phytochemicals revealing the presence of carbohydrates, tannins, saponins, flavonoids, alkaloids, quinones, cardiac glycosides, terpenoids, phenols, c… Show more

“…5 The antioxidant profiles of the extracts and extract-mediated silver nanoparticles saponins contrary to the methanol extracts; also, methanol extracts showed abundance of glycosides whereas the aqueous extract showed its absence. Knowledge of phytochemicals present in a plant assists scientists in the synthesis of more complex chemical substances; it also explains the reason behind other analytical results obtained during research on such plants [31]. Tannins are known to be useful in the treatment of inflamed or ulcerated tissues; they also have activity in cancer prevention [32].…”
