The antioxidative and phytochemical properties present in annona muricata (sour sop) leaf and annacarduim occidentale (cashew nut). (Annona muricata Lin) is a plant belonging to the Annonacea family that has been midely used globally as a traditional medicine for many diseases. It contain phytochemical compound and antioxidant activity. Fresh sour sop leaves and cashew nut were collected after identification by a plant taxonomist. The leaves were dried under the room temperature and grounded while the cashew nut was fried and grounded both plant where extracted using ethanol. Preliminary photochemical screening was adopted to determine the photochemical constituents of the plant materials. The ethanol extracts were analyzed by 2,2-diphenyl-l picryhdrazyl(DPPH)assays. The ethanol extract of sour soup leaf had antioxidant activity by scavenging DPPH radical with ic50 of 141,127,µg ml . The cashew nut extract showed that ethanolic extracts had higher antioxidant activity and total phenolic content. The presence of anthranoids, phenols, cardiac glycosides and alkaloids were detected with sour sop leaf extract while the presence of anthranoids , anthraquinones, phenols, alkaloids and cardiac glycosides were detected in the cashew nut extract. This work indicated that the cashew nut and soursop leaf extracts has a potential to be used as an antibacterial and antifungal agent for the further application.
