Phytochemical screening and antiproliferative activity of some locally
available plants in Jos metropolis
Six plants were collected from Jos metropolis through the help of “Obiyias Herbal
Medicine”. The plants were air dried for 30 days and pulverized into powder. 50 gm of the
powder samples were weighed and soaked in 250 ml of methanol for three working days,
about 2 ml of each methanolic extract were placed in six different sample bottles. Each of
the samples was spotted on TLC plates and each chromatogram was run in four different
solvent systems. The developed chromatogram were viewed under daylight, UV light
and sprayed with anisaldehyde solution as spraying agent. The phytochemical screening
and antiproliferative activities of the six samples are reported. The TLC chromatogram of
sample W3 was well resolved and because its phytochemical profile and anti-proliferative
properties are very impressive, detailed chemical structural elucidation of each component
in its extract was further studied with LCMS.
