Abstract

The Phytochemical, antifungal and anti-oxidant activities of Moringa oleifera and Momordica charantia leaves were evaluated in this study using the methanol, ethanol and acetone extracts. The phytochemicals identified in of the extract of these plants include; steroids, tannins, alkaloids, anthraquinones, flavonoids and terpenoids. The antioxidants levels determined in the extracts of Momordica charantia and Moringa olifera are; total reducing
power, total flavonoid content, total phenol content and DPPH radical scavenging activity. The fungal agents used are; Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus niger, Candida albican and Rhizopus. The anti fungal activities of each of the plant extract were determined using the filter paper disk methods. The extracts possessed an antifungal activity against Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus niger and Candida albican, while there was no antifungal activity against
Rhizopus sp.These results were discussed in relation to medicinal potentials of these plants.
