ABSTRACT
The ethanolic extract (crude extract) was successively extracted with nhexane,
chloroform, water, 103 aqueous methanol and n_hexane to give the
corresponding fractions. The crude exfract, 103 "aqueous methanol, vvater
soluble and n-hexane fractions of the root of .c_.africana, were screened for
antimicrobial activity and chemical constituents. The n-hexane fraction was
chromatographed on a column of silica gel to give a number of fairly pure
components. The infrared spectra of the components indicated the presence
of hydroxyl, esters, carboxylic and aromatic functional groups. The root Vas
found to be active against Staphvlococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Candida
albicans and Bacillus subtilis. The components were also found to be active
against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Candida albicans, Bacillus
subtilis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
