Effectiveness of Garlic and Onion Aqueous Extracts on Tomato Root-Knot Nematodes (Meloidogyne sp.) in the Autonomous District of Yamoussoukro in Central Côte d’Ivoire

Skin health is a concern for many people. This aim of this study is to evaluate in vitro the antioxidant activity of 10 plants used in cosmetopoeia for the maintenance of skin health. To achieve this objective, 30 extracts were tested using 2,2'-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical (DPPH) and 2,2'-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6) acid. -sulfonic) (ABTS + •) assays. The extracts studied were rich in total polyphenols, flavonoids, gallic tannins and alkaloids. For the DPPH reduction, 7 extracts including 5 methanolic and 2 aqueous extracts showed a percentage of inhibition similar to that of Vitamin C (95.79 ± 10.53%) used as a control. With ABTS, 11 extracts (5 methanol, 3 aqueous and 3 hexane) gave reduction percentages close to Trolox (95.97 ± 8.51%). These active plants could play a role in the maintaining of skin.

Yam, Dioscorea spp. (L) is an important foodstuff that plays a key role in the agricultural system in Côte d'Ivoire. This plant is however subject to several diseases during its cultivation and conservation. The losses caused by rots of tubers in storage constitute a major risk for economic profitability and for the food safety of consumers. The development of an effective and environmental friendly control method has been initiated. The objective of this work is to improve the conservation of Discorea alata tubers through the use of aqueous extracts of Ocimum gratissimum and Chromolaena odorata. To do this, three different doses (33 g/l; 39 g/l and 50 g/l) of aqueous extracts of Ocimum gratissimum and Chromolaena odorata were applied to yam slices before inoculation with Colletotrichum sp. Results showed that applying different doses of aqueous plant extract to yam slices before inoculation of the fungal strain caused less rot. The aqueous extracts of the two plants showed antifungal activity against Colletotrichum sp. This antifungal activity was more effective with the 50 g/l dose of Ocimum gratissimum compared to the extract of Chromolaena odorata.

An ethnobotanical survey was carried out in the District of Yamoussoukro (Central Côte d’Ivoire) in order to evaluate the biocontrol potential against fungal plant pathogens, of Euphorbiaceous plants used as medicines by the native population. Twelve (12) species were collected. The antifungal activity was assessed using the two-fold dilution method on PDA medium with ethanolic and aqueous extract derived from leaves of six plants. Results pointed out that only 70% ethanolic extracts from Alchornea cordifolia (EE13) possess fungicidal properties on both Fusarium sp. and Phytophthora sp. The antifungal activities are more effective with ethanolic extracts than aqueous extracts. With a minimal inhibitory concentration MIC = 25±0.0 mg/ml, a minimal concentration for 50% of inhibition IC50 = 10±0.05 mg/ml and a minimal fungicide concentration MFC = 200±0.0 mg/ml Fusarium sp. appears to be the most sensitive. Phytophthora sp. is less sensitive with a MIC = 50±0.0 mg/ml, an IC50 = 12±0.05 mg/ml and a MFC = 200±0.0 mg/ml. Phytochemical screening revealed the presence of seven major groups of compounds among which saponins and catechin are the most abundant in aqueous extracts. Polyphenols, flavonoids, polyterpenes and sterols as well as tannins are present in both alcoholic and aqueous extracts of Alchornea cordifolia. These compounds could justify its antifungal activity and traditional use.

Extraits Aqueux

Les séquelles, après un accident vasculaire cérébral, sont importantes et les patients handicapés moteurs très nombreux. La présente étude a pour objectif de définir le profil phytochimique des cinq plantes les plus utilisées pour traiter les séquelles des AVC en Côte d’Ivoire, d’évaluer leur capacité antioxydante et leur toxicité. Après le screening phytochimique, la teneur en phénols et flavonoïdes ont été quantifiés par la méthode colorimétrique de Folin-Ciocalteu. L’évaluation quantitative du potentiel antioxydant des extraits a été réalisée in vitro par le test au DPPH (1,1-diphényl-2-picryl-hydrazyle). Les tests ont mis en évidence la présence de polyphénols, de tanins et de flavonoïdes dans tous les extraits aqueux. Ces métabolites sont importants dans la prévention et le traitement des maladies cardio-vasculaires. Les taux les plus élevés de polyphénols sont présents dans les extraits aqueux d’écorce de tige de Ficus mucuso (83425,29 μg EAG/g MS) et de rameaux feuillés de Zizyphus mauritiana (74517,24 μg EAG/g MS). La plus forte teneur en flavonoïdes a été observée dans l’extrait aqueux de rameaux feuillés de Ziziphus mauritiana (20,28%). Des capacités antioxydantes importantes ont été observées dans les extraits aqueux du mélange écorces de tige/feuilles de Tamarindus indica (CI50 = 0,1269 mg/ml) et dans l’extrait d’écorce de tige de Ficus mucuso (0,1335 mg/ml). Les tests de toxicité aigüe montrent que l’extrait aqueux de l’écorce de tige de Ficus mucuso, par voie orale, à 5000 mg/kg de pc, est légèrement toxique chez les souris.Mots clés : AVC, séquelles, plantes médicinales, phytochimie, toxicité. English Title: Phytochemistry, antioxidant activity and acute toxicity of medicinal plants used against the sequelae of stroke in Côte d’IvoireThe sequelae after a stroke are significant and there are many patients with motor disabilities. The purpose of this study is to define the phytochemical profile of the five plants most used to treat the sequelae of stroke in Côte d'Ivoire, to assess their antioxidant capacity and their toxicity. After the phytochemical screening, the content of phenols and flavonoids were quantified by the colorimetric method of Folin-Ciocalteu. The quantitative evaluation of the antioxidant potential of the extracts was carried out in vitro by the DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl) test. The tests revealed the presence of polyphenols, tannins and flavonoids in all the aqueous extracts. These metabolites are important in the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease. The highest levels of polyphenols are found in aqueous extracts of stem bark of Ficus mucuso (83425.29 μg EAG/ g DM) and leafy twigs of Zizyphus mauritiana (74,517.24 μg EAG / g DM). The highest content of flavonoids was observed in the aqueous extract of leafy twigs of Ziziphus mauritiana (20.28%). Significant antioxidant capacities were observed in the aqueous extracts of the stem bark / leaf mixture of Tamarindus indica (IC50 = 0.1269 mg / ml) and in the extract of the stem bark of Ficus mucuso (0.1335 mg / ml). Acute toxicity tests show that the aqueous extract of the stem bark of Ficus mucuso, taken orally, at 5000 mg / kg bw, is slightly toxic in mice.Keywords: Stroke, sequelae, medicinal plants, phytochemistry, toxicity.
