Abstract

This study aimed at investigate the phytochemical screening of aqueous, methanolic, dichloromethane extracts of the stem barks of Sclerocarya birrea (Anarcadiaceae) and Khaya senegalensis (Meliaceae). Experiments were performed with the test tubes. The phytochemical analysis revealed the presence of polyphenols, flavonoids, saponides, triterpenes and tannins. We couldn’t found alkaloids and quinoids compounds in the tested extracts. Each of these phytochemical compounds has a specific mechanism for lowering blood sugar levels in diabetes rats. However, the large amount of chemical compounds confers to Sclerocarya birrea and Khaya senegalensis extracts its antidiabetic activities. So, that experience could justify the use of Sclerocarya birrea for diabetic therapeutics in traditional medicine.
