“…The antioxidant activity found in the faveleira seed was also higher than that observed in Cassia absus L. seed (10-48%) analyzed by Ahmad et al (2019) and hemp seed (40%, Frassinetti et al, 2018). Moreover, the press cake analyzed in the present study had higher capacity to sequester the DPPH radical than the peanut press cake (approximately 75%, Sadh et al, 2018) and different pecan nut press cake extracts (12.55-74.11%, Maciel et al, 2020).…”

The objective of the present study was to assess the phenolic compounds and antioxidant capacity of faveleira seed and press cake extracts. Phenolic profiles were assessed by Ultra-High Performance Liquid Chromatography (UHPLC). Furthermore, the Total Phenolic Content (TPC) and DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) radical scavenging were evaluated. The faveleira seed and press cake extracts are sources of natural phenolic compounds in human diet and have potent antioxidant activity. Gallic acid was the predominant phenolic compound in seed and press cake extracts. The study showed that faveleira seed and press cake extracts can be considered functional foods as well as a potential interest to the food industry.

“…The method of Ahmad et al [23] was adopted with some modifications. Extracts and standard drugs (streptomycin and ketoconazole) were made into concentrations of 1000, 500, 250, 125, 62.50, 31.25, and 15.63 µg/mL in freshly prepared nutrient or sabouraud dextrose broth.…”

Increased exposure to pathogens and free radicals contributes to the high incidence and mortality rate of various types of cancers in Nigeria and globally. This study aimed to screen twenty extracts from fifteen selected Nigerian medicinal plants used traditionally for cancer treatment for phenolic content, antimicrobial, and cytotoxic activities. The phenolic content was determined by Folin -Ciocalteu method, and antimicrobial potentials of the extracts was evaluated using spectrophotometric growth inhibition method while MTT assay was used to assess their cytotoxicity to cancer cell lines. Bark and root extracts of T. tetraptera and X. aethiopica demonstrated satisfactory activities in all the biological tests, which could be linked to their high phenolic contents. The findings support the ethnomedicinal uses of most of the tested medicinal plants.

“…Bryophyllum pinnatum (Ahmed et al, 2017;Ahmad et al, 2019;Arshad et al, 2020;Latif et al, 2020). In seven medicinal plant species included; Amberboa ramose, Barleria acanthoides, Isatis costata, Potentilla evestita, Ranunculus muricatus, Ranunculus repens, and Syzygium aromaticum, several phytochemicals were isolated and elucidated for potential XOI activity (Khan et al, 2008;Karim et al, 2009;Saeed and Shahwar, 2015;Rauf et al, 2016;Raziq et al, 2017).…”
