-
-
Phytochemical properties of aqueous andethanolic extracts of Chromolaenaodorata were assayed using standard techniques.Plant materials (leaves) were collected from Federal Polytechnic, Oko, Nigeria compound.
The leaves were appropriately prepared and extraction of crude ingredients done using ethanol and hot water respectively under standard laboratory conditions.Phytochemical analysis revealed the presence of bioactive flavonoids, polyphenols, saponins and tanins.The presence of bioactive substances may be responsible for the antifungalactivities of the extract. This study therefore underscores the fact that C. odorata can be a viable and cheap source for antifungal formulations.
