Abstract
The Ivorian flora is rich in plants of interest, some of which are used to treat neurodegenerative diseases. Among them, Nauclea latifolia (NL), Bombax costatum (BC) and Vernonia cinerea(VC) were studied for their potential. This qualitative research focuses on the phytochemical screening and the evaluation of the antioxidant power of selective extracts hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate and n-butanol of these plants. These extracts were obtained by a series of successive extractions with solvents varying according to polarity, revealing the presence of to the synergistic action of these phytochemical families, explaining their neuroprotective effects.
Keywords: Plant, selective extract, antioxidant activity, neurodegeneration
