Abstract

Terminalia superba Engl. & Diels (Combretaceae), is a member of the genus Terminalia that comprises around 100 species distributed in tropical regions of the world.

In Africa it is found along the coast of west and central Africa. It has different uses in traditional medicine such as antimalarial, anti-diabetic, anti-fungal, and anti-hypertensive in the areas where it is found. Most of these uses are yet to be scientifically investigated.

The powdered stem bark of Terminalia superba was extracted by maceration using methanol. The crude extract was chromatographically fractionated using n-hexane, ethyl acetate, and methanol.

Phytochemical analysis was conducted on the crude methanol extract, n-hexane, methanol, and ethyl acetate fractions using standard procedures. The LD50 of the crude methanol extract was determined using Lorke’s method.

The phytochemical analysis showed the presence of alkaloids, saponins, glycosides, flavonoids, tannins, terpenoids, resins and reducing sugars.

The crude extract, the methanol and ethyl acetate fractions were investigated for anti-ulcer activity using the ethanol, stress, and aspirin induction models. The parameters evaluated were ulcer index and percentage protective index. The data was statistically analysed

Introduction

1.1 Background of the Study

The fact that nature has bestowed us with abundant provision and resources for healing through herbs is not in doubt and cannot be over emphasized.

Man has used plants as sources of food and medicine since creation. Many applications of plants as medicines are not scientifically evaluated but are based on reported success in healing/cure over time.

The use of plants and plant parts for medicinal purposes can be described with different names, such as Traditional Medicine, Complimentary Alternative Medicine (CAM) but the contents are the same, natural substances.

Traditional medicine is the sum total of knowledge, skills and practices based on the theories, beliefs and experiences indigenous to different cultures that are used to maintain health, as well as to prevent, diagnose, improve or treat physical and mental illnesses…

in some Asian and African countries, 80% of the population depend on traditional medicine for primary healthcare (WHO , 2008). Almost 65% of the world’s population has incorporated the value of plants as a methodology of medicinal agents into their primary modality of health care (Lanfranco, 1992).
