The detection
of high levels of alkaloids in the leaves extracts of A.
muricata further reinforces the presence of alkaloid in this
species as already outlined by other independent studies
that showed that among the chemical constituents found
in A. muricata, the alkaloids and essential oils stood out[8].
Cardiac glycosides are molecules used in treatment of heart
failure[35], hence the present findings are suitable for use in
treatment of heart diseases
