Isoberlinia doka and Isoberlinia tomentosa are plant used in traditional treatment of various kinds of diseases in Nigeria without scientific validation on the phytochemicals responsible for their actions. The present work was aimed to perform phytochemical analysis on the stem bark crude extracts and fractions of I. doka and I. tomentosa. The qualitative and quantitative phytochemicals studies were conducted on I. doka and I. tomentosa based on standard method. The findings from qualitative phytochemical analysis showed the presence of flavonoids, tannins, terpenoid/steroid, saponins and alkaloids whereas anthraquinones were absent in all the
extracts and fractions of I. doka and I. tomentosa. The phytochemicals content of the crude extract and fractions of I. doka were found to be higher than I. tomentosa except for total saponin content. The crude extract of I. doka has the highest total alkaloids content (42.1 mg/g), the highest total flavonoids and phenol contents were obtained from n-Butanol fraction of I. doka (139.1 mg/g and 310.0 mg/g, respectively). However, the highest total saponin content was obtained as 170.6 mg/g in I. tomentosa crude ethanol extract. Therefore I. doka and I. tomentosa were very rich in similar phytochemical which could be responsible for their claimed efficiency
in traditional medicine for the prevention of several diseases.
