“…Plant steroids are classified into phytosterols and brassinosteroids. Authors have reported that phytosterols lower plasma cholesterol by preventing the absorption of cholesterol and cancer prevention potentials (Ogbe et al, 2015;Sultan and Raza, 2015). Brassinosteroids also help plants resist biotic and abiotic stress by protecting plants from the toxicity of herbicides, fungicides and insecticides (Xia et al, 2009).…”

Piptadeniastrum africanum is a forest tree that belongs to the family Fabaceae, Subfamily Mimosoideae (Airy Shaw, 1985). The plant can grow up to 45-50 m high and 3-5 m in girth with conspicuous plank-like buttresses, straight bole, with fine fern-like foliage. The plant has compound leaves with the basal pinnae low down on the common stalk which is usually 10-12 cm and grooved on the adaxial surface. The plant bears fruits which are usually 15-35 cm long and 15-35 mm wide. The fruits have seeds which are about 20-25 mm attached to the margin of the pod by a slender thread running from the middle and each is provided with wings that are papery, dark brown, and elongated. These wings are about 4-8 cm long and 10-25 mm wide (Hutchinson and Dalziel, 1958; Nyananyo, 2006). Piptadeniastrum africanum (Hook.f.) Brenan is endemic to tropical Africa. It is found in Angola,

“…It has been reported that plant derived alkaloids, flavonoids, steroids exert remarkable antiinflammatory and CNS modulatory effects. [29][30][31][32] Therefore, the presence of such phytochemicals in the investigated plants could be responsible for their anti-inflammatory as well as CNS activities.…”

In ethno medicine, Canthium coromandelicum (Burm.f.) Alston leaves are recommended to treat different ailments including wound, cholesterol, diabetes. Canthium sp. laid under Rubiaceae family, this study aim was to screen the bioactive compounds which present in methanolic extract obtained fromCanthium coromandelicum (Burm.f.) Alston leaves. According to the present preliminary analysis results, alkaloids, cardiac glycosides, quinones, flavonoids, steroids, saponins, phenol compounds, leucoanthocyanidines gum and mucilage, protein and carbohydrate were detected and chromatographic results showed 10 spots, 13 spots, 1 and 2 spots in thin layer chromatograms of acetone, hexane, ethyl acetate and methanol extracts respectively. Overall, it is postulated that Canthium coromandelicum (Burm.f.) Alston has medicinal and nutritional potentials.
