Phytochemical Screening, Antioxidant and Cytotoxic Activities in Extracts of Different Rhizome Parts From Curcuma Aeruginosa Roxb.

Abstract: Crude aqueous, 70% ethanol and 96% ethanol extracts from different part of rhizome of Curcuma aeruginosa RoxB., namely primary rhizome (PR), secondary rhizome (SR) and tertiary rhizome (TR) were screened for phytochemical compounds using qualitative methods, antioxidant activity using 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical and cytotoxicity using brine shrimp lethality test (BSLT). The crude 70% ethanol extract of PR (IC50, 437.07 µg/ ml) had stronger DPPH scavenging activity compared to the other cr… Show more

“…Several previous findings supported that alkaloids, carbohydrates, flavonoids, glycosides, phenolics, tannins, saponins, terpenoids, and quinones were present in C. longa, C. aeruginosa, C. xanthorrhiza, and C. caesia (Hasan et al 2014;Pakkirisamy et al 2014;Donipati and Hara Sreeramulu 2015;Sawant and Godghate 2015;Waras et al 2015;Oghenejobo 2017;Irshad et al 2018;Joshi et al 2018) that was consistent with our findings in this study. Therefore, we can postulate that the presence of these major phytochemical groups is independent of geographical factors and can be used as chemotaxonomical markers unique to the species.…”

“…The genus Curcuma has been an essential component of folklore medicine in numerous cultures. It has been reported to be used for the treatment of various disorders such as liver and skin problems and diseases, rheumatism, stomach ache, diarrhea, nausea, gingivitis, motion sickness, hypercholesterolemia, high levels of fatty acids, cancer, hemorrhoids, asthma, inflammation and leprosy (Naksuriya et al 2014;Subositi and Wahyono 2019;Mahadevhi and Kavitha 2020;Walker and Mittal 2020). Among other ethnobotanical applications of Curcuma are condiments, food preservatives, and coloring materials.…”

“…The rhizome powder was extracted using the maceration technique described in our previous research (Nurcholis et al 2015). Briefly, the sample powder (25 g) were extracted at room temperature with 70% ethanol of 250 ml for 24 h. The solution sample was filtered with the Whatman filter paper of number 4.…”
