Abstract

Azanza garckeana is a source of food, fodder for animals, fuel (fire wood), timber, medicine (roots are taking orally for pain relief, to treat cough and chest pains) and for shelter. The n-hexane, ethyl acetate and ethanol extracts were obtain by serial extraction using shaker apparatus. The results showed that; the phytochemical screening indicated the presence of alkaloids, cardiac glycosides, reducing compounds, flavonoids, saponin, Steroids and Triterpens, Tannins and phenols. The results of antibacterial recorded that there were significant antibacterial activity against all types of bacteria that used in this study. The result of the DPPH radical scavenging activity of the fruits extracts of Azanza garckeana showed that the n-hexane extract has high value 86 µg/ml, ethyl acetate extract value was 61 µg/ml and ethanol extract value was 42 µg/ml.
