from k. senegalensis flowers. The method used enabled
identification of five flavonoid glycosides and twelve
limonoids of different types viz: mexicanolides,
phragmalins and angolensate . Pathogens developed
resistance to antibiotics is one of very common health
problem for human infectious diseases. Being
ethnomedicaly used for treating infection such as diarrhea,
wounds and syphilis the results deserve further
biochemical studies of extracts from the flowers for their
potential medicinal significance.
