Detarium microcarpum is a legume tree of tropical Africa, widely known for its ethno-medicinal potentials. Previous studies have reported its rich contents of phytochemicals which could be linked to the bioactive principle of the plant. The in vitro antisickling properties of D. microcarpum stem bark was evaluated using blood samples obtained from thirty-fve confrmed sickle cell disease patients using standard microscopic techniques. The research outcome showed that D. microcarpum extract inhibited sickling of red blood cells with a laudable mean diference compared to p-hydrozybenzoic acid (reference antisickling drug) which is a pure compound. To further expounds it’s mechanism of action, six compounds previously isolated from D. microcarpum stem bark and fruits was docked into the active sites of deoxy-hemoglobin (PDB ID: IGZX) and 2, 3-bisphosphoglycerate mutase (PDB ID: 1T8P) using Autodock Vina algorithm. Results from the in silico studies showed that oxokolavenic acid, 5α, 8α -2-oxokalavenic acid and Copalic acid exhibited the most favorable ligand–protein molecular interaction with deoxy-hemoglobin and 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate mutase when compared with the reference antisickling drug, hydroxyurea. The interaction of these compounds with deoxy-hemoglobin could alter hemoglobin conformation, favoring the relaxed state, thereby delaying/inhibiting hemoglobin polymerization and sickling. Their interactions with 2, 3-bisphosphoglycerate mutase could inhibit 2, 3-bisphosphoglycerate synthesis, thus delaying enhanced delivery of oxygen to tissues which is twice the case seen in sickle cell anemia. This clearly shows the possible mechanism of action of D. microcarpum and further substantiates the antisickling potential of these compounds derived from D. microcarpum leaves and fruits.

The seeds of Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck (sweet orange) are waste products usually discarded. They may however contain phytochemicals that have potent bioactivities. In this study, the phenolic content, and antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of oil and non-oil (solid) extracts of C. sinensis seeds were evaluated using standard protocols. The seed oil contained significantly (P>0.05) higher contents of total phenol and total flavonoid when compared to the solid extract. However, the non-oil extract contained significantly (P<0.05) higher tannin contents than the seed oil. Ferric reducing antioxidant potential was not significantly different between both extracts. The antimicrobial activities of both extracts revealed that the seed oil possesses better antibacterial activities compared to the non-oil extract. The antifungal test revealed that the seed oil significantly inhibited the growth of Candida albicans (20 ㎜ zone of inhibition at a concentration of 200 ㎍/mL), however, it did not inhibit the growth of Aspergillus niger and Penicillum sp. The minimum inhibitory concentration values against the bacterial and fungal strains were similar for both extracts in the range of 50∼100 ㎍/mL. Minimum bactericidal concentration and minimum fungicidal concentration values ranged from 100∼200 ㎍/mL for both extracts. The results in this study indicate that C. sinensis seed oil and non-oil extracts possess antioxidant, and antibacterial and antifungal properties that may be differentially exploited in the development of antimicrobial agents.
