Abstract

a peer-reviewed, open access online international journal which publishes original research papers. The journal welcomes submission from scholars and experts for possible publication from all over the world. The scope of the journal includes: Pharmaceutical research, chemistry and biochemistry of naturally occurring compounds, biological evaluation of crude extracts, ethnomedicine, traditional and complementary medicine, ethnopharmacology, biomedical research, Biotechnology, Evaluation of natural substances of land and sea and of plants, microbes and animals, pharmacognosy, bioavailability, clinical, pharmacological, toxicological studies and pharmacokinetics of phytochemicals, Isolation and characterization of compounds, structure elucidation, synthesis and experimental biosynthesis of natural Product as well as developments of methods in these areas are welcomed in the journal.

Highlights

  • Aromatic, medicinal plants and tropical timbers produce certain bioactive molecules from extracts compounds that react to many surrounding agents or pathogens either by inhibiting their activities or being toxic to the host cells

  • The results showed that the yield of Galam extract using the maceration method was 0.27%, while for the reflux method, the yield was 0.55%

  • Total phenolic content The antioxidant activity of plants is often attributed to the phenolic compounds; the phenol content of the Galam sawdust extracts has been determined

Summary

Introduction

Medicinal plants and tropical timbers produce certain bioactive molecules from extracts compounds that react to many surrounding agents or pathogens either by inhibiting their activities or being toxic to the host cells. Many natural compounds isolated from woody plants performed significant pharmacological activities which could be harnessed as drug formulation.[1] Wood is an essential and renewable natural resource It is commonly used in many areas, such as in furniture and wood-frame houses, as it consists mostly of cellulose (40-50%), hemicellulose (20-30%), lignin (20-30%), has small water content, and amounts of inorganic ingredients.[2] Cellulose was an organic polymer known to occur in a wide variety of living species from the world of plants, bacteria, and animals. Cellulose structure consists of a linear homopolymer of β-Dglucopyranose units linked together by (1/4)-glycosidic bonds
