“…DPPH is commonly used as a tool to identify antioxidant molecules present in the plant extracts. 5 Reducing power assay is another convenient and rapid screening method for measuring the antioxidant potential. Both plant extracts showed moderate reducing power at higher concentration (Figure 1).…”

“…Moreover it is applied on face as freckles, acne vulgeris and other cutenious as well as pigmentation disorders. 2 Literature surveys revealed [3][4][5][6][7] that very few chemical and biological studies have been done on flowers of AS and bark of BC but there is no specific study on methanol extract of flowers and bark of AS and BC, respectively. Therefore, the present study is the first attempt to evaluate the antioxidant and antidiabetic potential of methanol extracts of the flower of AS and bark of BC and to investigate their chemical profiles in order to understand the secondary metabolites responsible for the biological activity.…”

ABSTRACT:In the present study, a methanol extract of flower of Alangium salvifolium (AS) and bark of Bombax ceiba (BC) were evaluated for its antioxidant and antidiabetic activities. Both methanol extracts exhibited DPPH free radical scavenging activity and reducing power activity in dose dependent manner. Continuous administration for of methanol extracts of AS for seven days significantly decreased blood glucose level than BC in alloxan induced diabetic rats at a dose of 200 mg/kg body weight. The IC 50 value of AS and BC were 17.3 µg/ml and 32.1 µg/ml, respectively. Both extract showed significant decrease of blood sugar after glucose loading points (30, 60 and 120 min). In addition, flower of AS possesses high phenol content than the bark of BC (152.73±13.60 vs 74.38±7.42 mg/g of gallic acid). This is the first report of antioxidant and reducing power evaluation and quantitative analysis of phenol content for this two plant materials. This finding suggest that the potential antioxidant activity and antidiabetic effect of flowers of AS could be due to the presence of phenolic compounds.

“…However, % FRSA gave a minor corelation (R 2 value 0.3615) which denotes radical scavenging activity to compounds other than phenolic in nature. According to literature review, the aqueous and ethanol extracts of B. ceiba bark were shown to be highly active in total reducing, total antioxidant and % FRSA bioassays (IC50 values around 100 µg/ml) (Gandhare et al, 2010) which further proves the antioxidant potential of moderately polar extracts of the subject plant.…”

Current study intends to investigate the extraction yield, phytochemical analysis and antioxidant potential of selected plant by executing a wide range of in vitro assays. This was done to suggest the most proficient solvent system and plant part for isolation and purification of probable bioactive leads. The colorimetric estimation of total phenolic, flavonoid contents, total antioxidant capacity, total reducing power and free radical scavenging activity was done. The specific polyphenols were quantified by RP-HPLC analysis. The present findings proved acetone and methanol (AC:M) extract of root bark part as an enriched source of antioxidant phytochemicals. The highest amount of rutin was detected in methanol (M) extract of root bark i.e. 0.70 μg/mg DW followed by methanol (M) extract (0.52 μg/mg DW) of leaf. Bombax ceiba L. was found to be a reservoir of phytochemicals possessing antioxidant potential.

Bombax ceiba bark extract was evaluated for its hypoglycemic and hypolipidemic potential through normal and streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats administered with graded oral doses (200, 400, 600 mg/kg/day) for 21 days. The results showed that a dose of 600 mg/kg of B. ceiba extract is the most effective to cause significant (p<0.001) hypoglycemic and/or hypolipidemic effects on streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. This dose also significantly (p<0.001) lowered the total cholesterol and triglyceride level in severely diabetic rats. Phytochemical and GC-MS studies confirmed the presence of the triterpenoid compounds in the extract, which may account for its significant hypoglycemic activity. The present study thus provides a scientific rationale for the traditional use of this plant in the management diabetes. This ork is li e sed u der a Creati e Co o s Attri utio 3.0 Li e se.
