Highlights
Spondias mombin L. (Anacardiaceae), normally acknowledged as hog plum and locally called „ijikara‟ in Igbo (Igbo is a language spoken by tens of millions in Nigeria), is a deciduous vertical tree that is 15-20 m tall with a stem size of 60 to 75 cm wide-range
We investigated the acute toxicity of the crude extract, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of the crude methanol extract and fractions of the S. mombin leaves, identify the chemical constituents present in the fractions from S. mombin leaves
Quantification of total phenolic compounds S. mombin leaves are part of the feed-stocks fed to the native animals in South Eastern Nigeria
Summary
Spondias mombin L. (Anacardiaceae), normally acknowledged as hog plum and locally called „ijikara‟ in Igbo (Igbo is a language spoken by tens of millions in Nigeria), is a deciduous vertical tree that is 15-20 m tall with a stem size of 60 to 75 cm wide-range.
