Abstract

Anogeissus leiocarpus and Adansonia digitata are two plant species which the chemical characteristics of their leaves are little studied. The objective of this study was to carry out the phytochemical characterization of the leaf powders of these two tropical medicinal plants used by herders for the treatment of gastrointestinal parasitosis and other diseases of small ruminants. Thus, the phytochemical analysis of leaf powders were based on staining and precipitation reactions. A determination of some chemical constituents of the leaf powder extracts of both plants was carried out. The phytochemical screening revealed the presence of tannins and flavonoids in the two plants that would explain their anthelmintic properties. Nevertheless, the screening of Anogeissus leiocarpus leaf powder revealed the absence of alkaloids. The plant extraction yields were 9.85 ± 0.64 and 10.93 ± 0.66 respectively for Anogeissus leiocarpus and Adansonia digitata. The dosage of bioactive molecule families showed that total phenols and flavonoids contents were the highest. The total phenols, condensed tannins and flavonoid contents were 30.01 ± 0.09 mg gallic acid equivalent/mg of the dry extract, 9.83 ± 0.19 mg catechin equivalent/mg of the dry extract and 27.18 ± 0.45 mg rutin equivalent/mg of the dry extract of Anogeissus leiocarpus, respectively. The leaf powder extract of Adansonia digitata also contained significant amounts of total phenols (25.87 ± 0.12 mg gallic acid equivalent/mg of the dry extract), condensed tannins (17.32 ± 0.13 mg catechin equivalent/mg of the dry extract) and flavonoids (21.37 ± 0.09 mg rutin equivalent/mg of the dry extract). These chemical characteristics are conducive to the rational and industrial use of the two target plant species in the management of gastrointestinal parasitosis and other diseases of small ruminants.
