The aim of this study is to determine the GC-MS and antiplasmodial potentials, in a view to determining all possible Phytoconstituents that may be implicated in the antiplasmodial activity of different bioactive compounds present in methanol and ethanol leaf extracts of Daniellia oliveri (D. oliveri), for the discovery of possible solutions to the rising cases of antimalarial drugs resistance.
(D. oliveri) (Rolfe) (syn. Paradaniellia oliveri Rolfe), is a medicinal plant of the genus Daniellia that was first named in 1859 by W. F. Daniell. It belongs to family Fabaceae, sub-family Caesalpinioideae and commonly known as African copoiba balsam in English, Ilorin balsam (eepoiya) or copaihu Africana. In Nigeria, it is traditionally known by the three major languages in the country as ‘Maje’ in Hausa, ‘iya/ozabwa/agba’ in Igbo, ‘Emi iya’ in Yoruba, ‘Agba’ in Igala, ‘Ukpilla’ in Igede and Ubakwa in Idoma.
