| Popis: | The Chemical composition of the essential oil obtained by hydrodistillation of fresh leaves of Clerodendrum buchholzii grown in Cameroon was investigated by GC and GC-MS. The major constituents were benzaldehyde (96%) and octen-3-ol which were also determined by AEDA method as the key odorants of the mixture. The antiradical screening tests indicates low scavenging activity against DPPH. Antifungal screening tests have been done on six fungal species (Candida albicans, Microsporum canis, Trichophyton rubrum, Fusarium moniliforme, Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus niger). The results showed an important inhibition efficiency of essential oil against the tested fungal species which justifies the traditional use of Clerodendrum buchholzii leaves by the local populations and traditional healers. |
