Abstract

Annona muricata (Linn) is a member of the Annonaceae family, which includes more than 2000 species and 119 genera. Although the plant is native to the warmest tropical regions of North and South America, it is currently widely distributed throughout the world's tropical and subtropical regions, including Nigeria, Malaysia, and India. A. muricata is an herbaceous plant whose leaves, bark, roots, fruits, and seeds are all utilized as natural cures for a range of ailments. The fruits and seeds have analgesic and antidiarrheal properties and are used to treat worm infestations and parasite diseases. The leaves, bark, and roots are utilized for their anti-effects that are sedative, antimalarial, antispasmodic, anti-inflammatory, and anticonvulsant. Secondary metabolites present in the plant exhibit strong anticancer effects and selective toxicity against a variety of malignant cells, without endangering healthy cells. The objective of the study was to identify the antioxidants and phytochemicals found in the leaves, seeds, and bark of A. muricata. The antibacterial property of the plant was examined using well diffusion method against different strains of microorganisms.
