AB  - This research evaluates the extract of the leaf
of <i>Dialium guineense</i> for its phytochemical and
pharmacognostic potential. GC-MS, UV-Visible
Spectrophotometer and other established biochemical
methods assays were used for the study. GC-MS analysis
showed the presence of 37 phytochemicals. The main
component was: 4-O-methylmannose (49.0%). The
&#946;-carotene, lycopene, total carotenoid, chlorophyll a, b,
total chlorophyll, TPC, TFC, TTC, TAA values were
0.20 mgg<sup>&#150;1</sup>, 0.10 mgg<sup>&#150;1</sup>, 12.68 mgg<sup>&#150;1</sup>, 4.40 mgg<sup>&#150;1</sup>,
4.70 mgg<sup>&#150;1</sup>, 7.80 mgg<sup>&#150;1</sup>, 2,668.17&plusmn;0.01 &#956;gmg<sup>&#150;1</sup>,
17.80&plusmn;0.00 &#956;gmg<sup>&#150;1</sup>, 152.65&plusmn;0.01 &#956;gmg<sup>&#150;1</sup>, 43.75&plusmn;0.04,
&#956;gmg<sup>&#150;1</sup>, respectively while Galvinoxyl and DPPH
antioxidant IC<sub>50</sub> were 125.0 and 6.0 &#956;gmL<sup>&#150;1</sup>, respectively.
The TAC value was 279.49&plusmn;0.01 &#956;gmg<sup>&#150;1</sup>. The highest
anti-arthritic value was 96.00%. The extract inhibited the
growth of all the screener bacteria. These results showed
that the leafcan be used in the treatment of various human
and animal&#146;s related aliment or diseases and more
importantly in formulation food additives and
preservative.
