Antioxidant Activities of Extract and Fractions from the Hypocotyls of the Mangrove Plant Kandelia candel

Abstract: The antioxidant activities of 70% acetone extract (70% AE) from the hypocotyls of the mangrove plant Kandelia candel and its fractions of petroleum ether (PF), ethyl acetate (EF), water (WF), and the LF (WF fraction further purified through a Sephadex LH-20 column), were investigated by the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging and ferric reducing/antioxidant power (FRAP) assays. The results showed that all the extract and fractions possessed potent antioxidant activity. There was a sign… Show more

“…Therefore, any strategy that prevents (or) slow down the progression of cataract can have a significant effect on human health. Since ancient time, medicinal plants are a major source of secondary metabolites, which play a key role in the highly effective free radical scavengers and antioxidant and biological activities [49]. The antioxidant activity of alcoholic extract of HI has been demonstrated earlier in numerous methods [50][51][52].…”

“…The leaves and bark extract of C. tagal shows antibacterial activity 65 . Phenolics are important components of the leaf extract and hypocotyls of K. candel and show excellent antioxidant activities 66,67 . Therefore, K. candel can be a good candidate for further development as an antioxidant medicine.…”
