Biological Activity and Chemical Composition of Detarium microcarpum Guill. and Perr—A Systematic Review

Table 5

Antifungal activity of D. microcarpum.

S/N	Method	Solvents	Part of the plant	Major findings	Reference
1		Petroleum ether	Seed	The extract inhibited the growth of all tested fungal significantly	[13]
2			Fruits pulp	Inhibited the growth of the tested fungal strain at 100 μg	[24]
3		Hexane, methanol	Stem bark	The methanolic stem bark exhibited the highest inhibition against Microsporum canis at 10.70 mm.	[70]
4		Aqueous	Stem bark	The extract protects against castor oil-induced diarrhea by 53%, compared to the standard 91%.	[71]
5		Aqueous	Stem bark	The aqueous extract alone lowered the contractile amplitude of jejunal tissue dosage independently. Additionally, the aqueous extract lowered the contractile amplitude of an isolated jejunal segment subjected to 0.2 ml of acetylcholine at a concentration of 10 μg/mL.	[72]
