The aim of this study was to identify and characterize groups of antioxidant active naturally from methanol extract of the stem of Anredera cordifolia through antioxidant assay-guided separation. The methanol extract (ME) displayed the highest antioxidant activity, compared to ethyl acetate extract (EE) and hexane extract (HE) using cyclic voltammetry method. Ascorbic acid was used as a positive control in this research. The repeated fractionation of active ME by MPLC and HPLC analyses yielded a constituent with strong antioxidant property. The active constituent (RNV-1) was predicted as a flavonoid type based on the UV spectrum data. The antioxidant activity results exhibited that RNV-1 had a coefficient of antioxidant activity (K) sligtly higher than K of ascorbic acid with the values of 0.055 and 0.052 respectively. It was found that RNV-1 demonstrated an excellent antioxidant activity in comparison with the standard antioxidant activity through antioxidant assays-guided separation. The results obtained suggested that the stem of A. cordifolia can be used potentially as a source of natural antioxidants by contributing beneficial health effects.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
