Antioxidant Activities, Phenolic and Flavonoid Contents of Methanolic Extract of Stelechocarpus burahol Fruit and its Fractions

Abstract

Kepel or Stelechocarpus burahol is an exotic fruit originating from Java, Indonesia. This research was intended to evaluate the antioxidant activities of extracts and fractions of kepel fruit pulp (KFP) based on radical scavenging capability towards 2,2′-azinobis(3-ethylbenzo thiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) diammonium salt (ABTS) and 2,2′-diphenildiphenyl-1-picrylhydrazil radical (DPPH). In this study, the radical scavenging activities were also correlated with total phenolics and flavonoid contents. Among the evaluated samples, the ethyl acetate fraction exhibited the highest antiradical antioxidant activity towards ABTS radical with IC50 of 0.35 μg/ml, lower than that of vitamin C (as positive control). It also showed highest antiradical activity using DPPH based assay. Methanolic extract had total phenolic content of 58.28 ± 0.37% wt/wt gallic acid equivalent, higher than its fraction. Meanwhile the petroleum ether soluble fraction revealed flavonoid content (76.06 ± 11.9%) as rutin equivalent, among the extract and fractions evaluated. Based on coefficient (R2) values, phenolics and flavonoids contents contributed to 73.09% and 30.99%% towards antiradical scavenging activities, respectively.

Evaluation of Antioxidant and Cytotoxic Activities of Aerial Parts of Adiantum capillus-veneris L. Growing in Bangladesh

“…In general, plants having phenolics and flavonoids are capable of scavenging free oxidative radicals because these molecules are able to donate hydrogen atom. 20 Herlina et al 21 capillus-veneris L. 22 These bioactive molecules have drawn more attention because of their relation to prevent cancer, skin rashes, inflammation, and coronary heart disorders. 23 In addition to free radicals scavenging analysis, cytotoxic activity of methanolic extract of A. capillus-veneris L. and its different soluble fractions were performed against HELA cell line.…”

ANALISIS FITOKIMIA DAN AKTIVITAS FARMAKOLOGI TANAMAN KEPEL (Stelechocarpus burahol) TERHADAP BEBERAPA PENYAKIT : REVIEW

“…Berdasarkan penelitian yang dilakukan oleh (Herlina et al, 2018) (Shafirany et al, 2021; dengan konsentrasi masing-masing sebesar 73.09% dan 30,99%. Pada penelitian lain disebutkan bahwa, kandungan flavonoid yang terkandung dalam daun Kepel memiliki potensi terhadap antibakteri (Indriani et al, 2017;.…”

Phytochemical analysis, antioxidant and photoprotective activities of aqueous extract of Euphorbia retusa Forssk. different parts from Algeria

“…However, plants are an important source for the development of new chemotherapeutic including antioxidant agents, which can be protect cell constituents against oxidative damage and withstand the risk of various diseases associated with oxidative stress (Herlina et al, 2018). Furthermore, phenolic compounds are known for their potential antioxidant to eliminate toxic reactive oxygen species (ROS) as well as flavonoids, which were characterized by a strong potential protection against UV radiations (Hopkins, 2003;Macheix et al, 2005).…”
