TL;DR: Chromatographic separation of the 50% aqueous EtOH extract of the leaves of the African medicinal tree Baphia nitida resulted in isolation of 10 iminosugars, which contained DMDP as a major alkaloid and its derivatives, which lowered inhibition toward both of these enzymes and improved inhibitory activities toward rice alpha-glucosidase and rat intestinal maltase.

TL;DR: The heartwood of Pycnanthus angolensis furnished a new is oflavone 7,4′-dimethoxy-2′-hydroxyisoflavone in addition to the known 2′-Hydroxyformononetin, while that of Baphia nitida gave known isoflavonoids sativan and medicarpin.

TL;DR: Chemical investigation of the methanol extract of the roots of Baphia bancoensis led to the isolation and characterization of three new isoflavonoid glycosides, determined on the basis of spectroscopic studies andchemical evidence.
Abstract: Chemical investigation of the methanol extract of the roots of Baphia bancoensis led to the isolation and characterization of three new isoflavonoid glycosides (1−3). Their structures were determined on the basis of spectroscopic studies and chemical evidence. Antibacterial activity of isolated compounds was evaluated against Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis, Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

TL;DR: In this article, Alchornea cordifolia, Baphia nitida, Cassia occidentalis and Boerhavia diffusa leaves are evaluated for their antioxidant properties through a scavenger effect on reactive oxygen species (ROS), such as hydrogen peroxide and hypochlorous acid.

TL;DR: It is argued that the ultimate goal of a crop-livestock agroforestry system such as alley farming, could be better achieved through the complementary use of browse species.
Abstract: Dry matter (DM) production, crude protein, phosphorus fibre contents and goat preference for eight indigenous browse species,Alchornea cordifolia, Diallum guineense, Ficus capensis, Baphia nitida, Manniophytum fulvum, Homalium aylmeri, Glyphaea brevis andRauwolfia vomitoria, and for two exotics,Leucaena leucocephala andGliricidia sepium, in cultivated plots were compared on acid soil in southeastern Nigeria. Total DM production was higher (P<0.05) forAlchornea cordifolia than for the other browse species.Glyphaea brevis andL. leucocephala were the most preferred species, whileA. cordifolia, G. sepium andR. vomitoria were the least. Mean crude protein content of browse species in this study was higher, whileP and neutral detergent fibre were lower than reported for other browse species in Nigeria. It is argued that the ultimate goal of a crop-livestock agroforestry system such as alley farming, could be better achieved through the complementary use of browse species.
