Abstract
Aims: Discovering new lead compounds against cancer and bacterial infections is a crucial step to ensuring a sustainable global pipelin e for new effective drugs. This study focus on the isolation of secondary metabolites of methanol extract from the bark of Manilkara zapota (Sapotaceae) a Cameroonian medicinal plant . Study Design: According to the literature, plants of the genus Manilkara are potential sources of antibacterial and anticancer secondary metabolit es. Methodology: The air - dried and powdered bark (4.0 kg) of M. zapota was extracted at room temperature for 72 h with a methanol. The extract was concentrated to dryness under vacuum and the residue was subjected to repeated column chromatographic separat ion. The structures of the
