Abstract
Pharmacological studies of leaves of three species threatened of the togolese coastal ecosystems (Conocarpus erectus L., Dodonaea viscosa (L) Jacq. and Scaevola plumieri (L) Vahl.) prove their utilisation in the local pharmacopoeia. Hydro-ethonolic extract of D. viscosa leaves is active on B. subtilis, P. aeruginosa, S. aureus and specially on C. albicans at 12.5 mg/ml. The extract of C. erectus shows activity on S. aureus and P. aeruginosa and that of S. plumieri on C. albicans. These activities should be supported by tanins, flavonoids and saponins found in these extracts.
