Diabetes remain one of the world’s major health problems and many repots have been supported the role of oxidative stress in the pathogenesis of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. This study aimed to evaluate the antidiabetic and antioxidant activity of Bauhinia rufescens a plant used in Sudanese folkloric medicine for treatment of diabetes. It was also aimed to identify isolates and characterize the bioactive antidiabetic and antioxidant compounds using bioactivity guided fractionation followed by High Performance Thin Layer Chromatography (HPTLC) autobiography, Liquid-Mass spectroscopy analysis and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). Method: The powdered plant leaves were exclusively extracted using petroleum ether, chloroform and methanol, successively. These extracts were tested in streptozotocin-induced diabetic Wistar rats for antidiabetic as well as DPPH antioxidant potential. Standard Propyl Gallate was used as (+ve) control and the difference in results was considered significant when P < 0.05. The best active extract was fractionated with chloroform, ethyl acetate and butanol along with the remaining aqueous fraction. The fractions are tested for antioxidant and antidiabetic activity using HPTLC autobiography (α amylase and α glucosidase). Further, bioactive compounds were isolated by Preparative Thin Layer Chromatography and identified using LC/MS and NMR spectroscopy. IX Results: The methanol extract significantly decreased the blood glucose level in normal fasted rats by 27 %; two hours following administration and decreased the blood glucose level in streptozotocin-treated rats by 48.9%; two hours following oral administration, while chloroform and pet. Ether extracts not significantly decreases the glucose level.Significantly the methanol extract also showed strong antioxidant activity (89%) compared with other extracts; thereforeit was further subjected for fractionation by using chloroform, ethyl acetate, n-butanol and water sequentially, and then tested for their antioxidant activity; where the ethyl acetate fraction was showed good activity compared with other fractions. Bioactivity guided fractionation of Bauhinia rufescensled to isolation and characterization of two compounds with potent antidiabetic and antioxidant activity namely; Quercetin-3-O- rutinoside and Kaempferol -3-O-rutinoside.

  • Introduction
    Introduction 1.1-General overview Flavonoids are a large group of phenolic plant constituents. To date, more than 8000 flavonoids have been identified1 , although a much smaller number is important from a dietary point of view. That flavonoids possess bioactive potential has been recognized for long, but until recently, data about their bioavailability, metabolic fate, and health effects were limited. In the 1990s, interest in these compounds truly commenced and has been growing ever since. Flavonoids are potent antioxidants in vitro, and therefore one of the main interests in thecompounds has involved protection against cardiovascular disease. Antioxidation is, however,only one of the many mechanisms through which flavonoids could exert their actions. Flavonoids are divided to several subgroups, and it is important to keep in mind that thebiological and chemical properties of flavonoids belonging to different subgroups can be quite different. Flavonoids consist of 2 benzene rings (A and B), which are connected by an oxygen-containing pyrene ring (C) as shown below: 1 Flavonoids containing a hydroxyl group in position C-3of the C ring are classified as flavonols . Beside this class flavonoids are generally classified into : flavones, chlacones, aurones, flavanones, isoflavones, dihydroflavonols, dihydrochalcones, catechins(flavans) and anthocyanins. The general structures of such classes are outlined in scheme I. Further distinction within these families is based on whether and how additional substituents (hydroxyls or methyls, methoxyls …etc) have been introduced to the different positions of the molecule.In isoflavonoids, the B ring is bound to C-3 of ring C (instead of C-2 as in flavones and flavonols).

Bauhinia tomentosa and Bauhinia racemosa also possess anti-diabetic, anticancer, antidiabetic, anti-obesity and antihyperlipidemic activities. Therefore, the correct identification of these plants is critically important. The aim was to investigate the comparative morpho-micrometric analysis of 3 species of Bauhinia belonging to the family Leguminosae (Fabaceae) by using conventional as well as scanning electron microscopy to support species identification. In B. racemosa, epidermal cells are polygonal with anticlinical walls; whereas wavy walled cells are found in B. tomentosa and B. vahlii. Anisocytic stomata are present in B. racemosa, while B. tomentosa shows the presence of paracytic stomata and anomocytic stomata in B. vahlii. Stomatal numbers and stomatal indices were found to be more in B. vahlii than B. tomentosa and B. racemosa. On the other hand, uniseriate, unicellular covering trichomes are found in B. racemosa and B. tomentosa but B. vahlii contains only uniseriate, multicellular covering trichomes. Based on these micromorphological features, a diagnostic key was developed for identification of the particular species which helps a lot in pharmaceutical botany, taxonomy and horticulture, in terms of species identification.

  • CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background of the Study
    CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background of the study Throughout history, natural products have continued to play significant role as medicines and serve as repository of numerous bioactive compounds that serve as important leads in drug discovery (Dias et al., 2012). The significance of natural product based medicines is demonstrated by the reliance of more than half of the world’s population on natural products for their primary health care (Ekeanyanwu, 2011). The role of natural products in meeting the health needs of the Nigerian population has been stressed in many studies (Sofowora, 1982; Osemene et al., 2013). These natural products are rarely used solely for a particular disease condition. In some cases, a particular herbal product may be used for the treatment of related disease conditions or disease conditions with similar pathogenesis. There are situations where single herbal product is used for numerous unrelated disease conditions and for general body healing – this is the category where traditional use of Millettia aboensis falls. The contribution of natural products in disease control has been well acclaimed; however, the use of many plant based medicines for the treatment of disease conditions is yet to be fully accepted due to lack of scientific evidence on their efficacy and safety (Firenzuoli and Gori, 2007). The knowledge and uses of some medicinal plants are still based on cultural or folkloric believes. The full therapeutic potentials of herbal products would optimally be harnessed when their efficacy and toxicity are clearly validated and documented using scientific procedures. 1 Millettia aboensis is one of the plants considered to be an all-purpose plant in most parts of Africa because of the multiplicity of its use (Banzouzi et al., 2008).

Full Length Research Paper Woody plant species used in urban forestry in West Africa: Case study in Lomé, capital town of Togo Radji Raoufou*, Kokou Kouami and Akpagana Koffi Laboratory of Plant Biology and Ecology, BP 1515 Lomé - Togo. Accepted 13 July, 2019 Many studies have been conducted on the flora of Togo. However, none of them is devoted to the ornamental flora horticulture. This survey aims to establish an inventory of the woody plant species in urban forests of Lomé, the capital town of Togo. It covers the trees planted along the avenues, in the gardens, courtyards, shady trees and trees used as fences for houses or trees at the seaside. In total, 297 plant species belong to 141 genera and 48 families were recorded. They are dominated by 79% of dicotyledonous, 13% of monocotyledonous and 8% of gymnosperms. Families that are best represented in terms of species are those of the Euphorbiaceae, Arecaceae and Acanthaceae. Alien species represent 69% and African species represent 31% out of which 6% are from Togo. According to the current threatening of the natural habitat by human activities, African native plant species could be more useful for ornamental purposes than exotic plants. Key words: Ornamental horticulture, plant flora, green areas, valorisation, native flora. INTRODUCTION Urban forestry refers to trees and forests located in cities, landscape covered with trees for the physical and mental including ornamental and grown trees, street and parkland health has been documented (Ulrich, 1984).
