Objective: Annona senegalenesis Pers is a sprawling shrub belonging to the family Annonaceae, and is mainly used in ethnomedicine. The use of decoction of A. senegalenesis is very prominent in the management of various conditions ranging from bacterial infection, worm infestation,  snake bites, pyrexia and febrile convulsion in folk medicine. Methods: The investigation on anti...

The DNA barcode initiative aims to establish a universal protocol using short genetic sequences to discriminate among animal and plant species. Although many markers have been proposed to become the barcode of plants, the Consortium for the Barcode of Life (CBOL) Plant Working Group recommended using as a core the combination of two portions of plastid coding region, rbcL and matK. In this pape...

Root bark preparation of Annona senegalensis Pers. (Annonaceae) is used in Nigerian ethnomedicine for treatment of infectious diseases. Extraction of the A. senegalensis powdered root bark with methanol-methylene chloride (1 : 1) mixture yielded the methanol-methylene extract (MME) which was fractionated to obtain the ethyl acetate fraction (EF). The EF on further fractionation gave two active ...

BACKGROUND Within the framework to control mosquitoes, ovicidal, larvicidal and pupicidal activity of Annona senegalensis leaf extract and its 4 fractions against Anopheles gambiae and Culex quinquefasciatus were evaluated in the laboratory conditions. METHODS Ovicidal test was performed by submitting at least 100 eggs of mosquitoes to 125, 250, 500, 1000 and 2000 ppm concentrations, while la...

Abstract Background Annona species can be found in the subtropical and tropical parts of world. Because their medicinal capabilities highly exotic edible fruits, they are one most important members Annonaceae family. Isoquinolines, pyrimidine-?-carboline alkaloids, lectins, acetogenins, volatile oils among active metabolites this genus, all which have been shown to anti-diabetic antioxidant act...

Annona senegalensis Pers. (Annonaceae) is a multipurpose shrub species, but threatened in Burkina Faso. Therefore, understanding its natural regeneration challenge for the sustainable management of species resources. Our study examines potentials A. across two phytogeographic zones. The structure Weibull showed that distribution individuals based on height classes, was inverse J-shaped reveals ...
