Invitro-Antioxidant activity of the seed and leaf extracts of syzygium cumini

Zanthoxylum armatumDC. (syn.Z. alatumRoxb.) is an important medicinal plant commonly called Timur or Indian prickly ash. The ethnopharmacological study ofZ. armatumrevealed the use of different plant parts for curing various ailments including cholera, chest infection, fever, indigestion, stomach disorders, gas problems, piles, toothache, gum problems, dyspepsia, as carminative, antipyretic, aromatic, tonic, and stomachic. Keeping in view the medicinal potential of the plant, the antioxidant activity was evaluated using 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging, reducing power, and phosphomolybdate assay using different concentrations (7.81 μg/mL–250 μg/mL). Ascorbic acid was taken as standard. The results indicated that the free radical scavenging activity ranged from 40.12% to 78.39%, and the reductive potential ranged from 0.265 nm to 1.411 nm while the total antioxidant activity ranged from 0.124 nm to 0.183 nm. The antioxidant potential evaluated by three assays increased in a concentration dependent manner and ascorbic acid showed better antioxidant activity than leaf extract. Results obtained through different tests confirmed redox protective activities ofZanthoxylum armatum. Further in vitro and in vivo research should be performed, so this plant can be further utilized in drug development.

“…This effect can be associated to an antioxidant activity of different chemical compounds in the leaves of this plant as described by Migliato et al (2006). Often, it has been reported in Syzygium cumini leaves extract the presence of phenolic compounds, besides flavonoids, saponins, steroids, and tannins (Nair et al 2013) and the highest antioxidant activity of this is directly correlated with its phenolic compounds (Reddy and Jose 2013). In addition, Ruan et al (2008) observed high content of catechin and ferulic acid, affirming that besides phenolic acids, the other complex phenolic compounds in SCL may also be responsible for the antioxidant activity.…”

“…In this sense, the Syzygium cumini, popularly known as "jambolão", "azeitona preta" or "guapê" is a plant belonging to Myrtaceae family plant which different parts are described in the literature by presenting medicinal properties due to different chemical constituents, such as gallic acid, metilgalatic, kaempferol, myricetin, ellagic acid, chlorogenic acid, quercetin and nilocitin, mainly found in the leaves. The in vitro antioxidant activity of different extracts of the Syzygium cumini leaves has been reported by different researchers (Ruan et al 2008, Govaris et al 2010, Ayyanar and SubashBabu 2012, Chandhary and Mukhopadhyay 2012, Nair et al 2013, Kaneria and Chanda 2013, Reddy and Jose 2013, Siddiq et al 2013. Mohamed et al (2013) reported that the results, especially the antibacterial and antioxidant activity, should encourage investigations of using Syzygium cumini leaves as functional food and nutraceutical applications.…”

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of Syzygium cumini leaves (SCL) in laying hens diets on productive performance, egg quality and lipid oxidation of yolk. A total of 108 Hysex White laying hens were distributed in a completely randomized design with three treatments and six replicates of six birds each. The treatments consisted of SCL inclusion at dietary levels of 0, 5 and 10 g/kg. There was no significant effect of SCL inclusion on feed intake, laying percentage, weight and egg mass, feed conversion ratio, Haugh units, specific gravity, percentage of yolk, albumen and egg shells and shell thickness. However, the inclusion of SCL significantly influenced the yolk color and yolk lipid oxidation measured by TBARS values. Yolk color increased and TBARS values decreased with the inclusion of SCL. The inclusion of SCL in laying hens diets improves pigmentation and lipid stability of yolk.

“…The k 2 value of SC was determined to be 15.60 L/mol g s in methanol at 25°C proving that it has a excellent antioxidant potential 46 . The leaf and seed extract of SC exhibited a significant antioxidant activity when they were assessed by various in vitro methods such as Ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) assay, 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) scavenging assay, nitric oxide radical scavenging, ABTS assay, total reducing antioxidant potential, total antioxidant activity, reducing power and hydroxyl radical scavenging activity 47 .…”

Syzygium cumini (L.) is a widely used medicinal plant for the management of various diseases. Syzygium cumini posses various chemical constituent which are responsible for pharmacological activity. This plant reported to possess many pharmacological activities like antidiabetic activity, anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-diarrhoeal activity, antiviral, antifertility activity, gastroprotective, antipyretic, antihistaminic, antimicrobial and antiplaque. The present review presents specific information on morphology of plant, cultivation of plant, traditional uses and pharmacological actions of S. cumini (L.). Further applications of Syzygium cumini (Linn.) in the field of novel drug delivery has been also elaborated in the review. Apart from its application in the management of various ailments there is need to explore chemical and toxicity concern of Syzygium cumini (Linn.). INTRODUCTION: There has been an increasing demand for health promoting food products by the consumers all over the world. This has led to the new hybrid term between nutrients and pharmaceuticals, 'nutraceuticals' coined by Dr. Stephen L. DeFelice, in the year 1989 1. Nutraceuticals are diet supplements that deliver a concentrated form of a bioactive component from a food and used with the purpose of enhancing health in dosages that sometimes exceeds that of the normal foods 2. Medicinal plants have been the part and parcel of human society to combat diseases since the dawn of human society to combat diseases since the dawn of human civilization 3 .
