Chemical and Biological Characterize of Dendrocalamus asper (Schult.) Backer

Abstract

Dendrocalamus asper (Schult.) Backer is a large shrub native to Asia, Africa, and the United States that is also cultivated in Egypt. Total phenolics, flavonoids and antioxidants in different fractions showed that the ethyl acetate extract has the highest content 20.95 ± 1.29 GAE (Gallic acid equivalents) and 19.65 ± 0.77 (quercetin equivalents) with antioxidant 64%, respectively. HPLC analysis of D. aspera extract revealed presence of 14 and 11 phenolic acids and flavonoid compounds, respectively. Pyrogallol, Coumarin and gallic acid have been determined as 3981.7, 1139.8, and 1135.1 mg/100gm in the extract of D. asper extract, While Kaempferol -3-2-pcoumaroylglucos 4046.4 mg/100gm was the most predominant compounds in the extract of D. asper extract, Phenolic acids and flavonoids tentatively identification depends on Chemical and …
