dc.description.abstractThe study was carried out to determine the phytochemical compositions, physicochemical parameters, biochemical and Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectroscopy GC-MS analysis of Petiveria alliacea leave extracts collected at three different times of the day and the results compared. The extracts were prepared using successive extraction with both non-polar and polar solvents. The physicochemical analysis revealed no significant variation in the three samples. It showed that the extracts are green in colour and acidic with a total ash content of 18.95 %. The phytochemical analysis revealed that flavonoids, terpenoids, alkaloids, saponins, steroids, glycosides, tannins were present in the plant leaves but the composition varies in relation to the time of collection of the samples. GC-MS analysis revealed major constituents such as; 9,12,15-octadecatrienoic acid; 3,7,11,15-Tetramethyl-2-hexadecen-1-ol; Squalene and n-Hexadecanoic http//www.unilorin.edu.ng/centrepoin t Volume 24, No.2, pages 141-174 ©2018 University of Ilorin Centrepoint Journal (Science Edition) 2141-3819/2017 $5.00 + 0.00 CPJ 2018022/24210 Centrepoint Journal Volume 24.

In the ethanol extract, n- Hexadecanoic acid, phytol, 3,7,11,15-Tetramethyl-2-hexadecen-1-ol and 9,12-Octadecadienoyl chloride were found in the morning sample; campesterol, 9,12,15-octadecatrienoic acid and ethyl ester in the afternoon sample while Linolenic acid, Nonadecyl cyclohexane and 9,12,15-octadecatrienoate in the evening samples. It is thus concluded that P.allliacea leaves contain many bioactive components and that collection times and the extraction medium have significant effects on the chemical compositions of the leaves. These compounds possess many biological properties; however, these results confirmed the influence of the time of collection of the leaves on the composition which affect the biological activity and pharmacological applications of the plant. The variation in the constituents in the samples could be attributed to sunlight effect, since all other conditions are the same. Also leaf extracts of P.alliacea collected at three different times of the day showed varying and different toxicological effects when administered to Wistar rats.
