Chemical constituents, in vitro antioxidant and antimicrobial potential of Caryota urens L.

Abstract: a b s t r a c tObjective: To evaluate chemical constituents, in vitro antioxidant and antimicrobial potential of Caryota urens L. Methods: Qualitative analysis of crude extract of C. urens was carried out by gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GCeMS) method and their in vitro antioxidant activity was evaluated using DPPH, ABTS, reducing power and nitric oxide scavenging assays. Antimicrobial activity was determined by disc diffusion method. Results: GCeMS analysis showed the presence of fatty acids, aliphati… Show more

“…10 Ascorbic acid restrains potent ability to scavenge DPPH so it is used as a standard antioxidant. The methanolic extract represented dose dependent free radical scavenging corresponding with the results of Ebrahimabadi et al 42,43 showing that plant metabolites like flavonoids, tannins and other phenolic posses antioxidant activity.…”

“…[4][5] The medicinal properties of traditional medicinal plants have been investigated in the recent scientific developments for treatment of many metabolic diseases. The extract of these plants from various places in the world are reported to possess several pharmacological activities including anti-inflammatory, [6][7] antidiabetic, [8][9][10][11] antimalarial, 12 antimicrobial, [13][14] anti TB, 15 anthelmintic activity, 16 anticancer, [17][18] cylindroxanthones A-C (1-3 etc. Traditional medicinal plants derived natural product such as alkaloids, flavonoids and terpenes.…”

“…The present state of the art in antioxidant analysis involves in vitro testing for concentration (employing HPLC (Kim, Lee, & Shin, 2013) (Gonzalez-Centeno et al, 2013), GC/ MS (D.A. Ananth, 2013), and Folin-Ciocalteu (Singleton, 1999)) as well as antioxidant capacity (using ORAC (Cao G, 1993), FRAP (Benzie IFF, 1996), and TEAC (Miller, 1993)).…”
