Phytochemical screening, UPLC analysis, evaluation of synergistic antioxidant and antibacterial efficacy of three medicinal plants used in Kinshasa, D.R. Congo.

ABSTRACT: Plant extracts are used worldwide due to their biologically active compounds, which support food preservation and help combat various diseases through their antimicrobial and antioxidant properties. In the capital city of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, an ethnobotanical survey revealed the use of Dysphania ambrosioides (L.) Mosyakin & Clemants, Ocimum gratissimum L. and Tetradenia riparia (Hochst.) Codd, often in combination, for treating oral microbial diseases. While these plants have been widely studied individually; their combined potential has not been investigated. The present research aims to explore the phytochemical composition, the synergistic antimicrobial, and antioxidant potential of different extracts from these three mentioned plants. Phytochemical composition of the
