 Hydrilla verticillata is one of Allah SWT creations that potential as an antioxidant. This study’s objectives were to determine antioxidant activity and identify steroid isolates of n-hexane fraction of H. verticillata. The steroid compounds were extracted using methanol solvent. The methanol extract was hydrolyzed with HCl 2 N and partitioned using n-hexane. The n-hexane fraction was tested phytochemically and separated using thin-layer chromatography (TLC). The steroids compounds were identified using UV-Vis spectrophotometer, FTIR, and LC-MS/MS. The result showed that maceration extraction produced 5.14% yield, whereas n-hexane fraction produce 47.95% yield. Steroid separation through analytical TLC revealed that n-hexane: ethyl acetate (4:1) as the best eluant with 12 spots, while separation using preparative TLC yielded 19 spots. Steroid isolate from TLC preparative has antioxidant activity with EC50 of 5.109 ppm. Identification of steroid compounds using UV-Vis produced maximum wavelengths at 203.9 and 276 nm, while using FTIR indicated the presence of O-H group, geminal dimethyl, C=O, C=C, secondary C-OH, and =C-H (alkene) which might contain steroid compounds. The result of LC-MS/MS showed the presence of β-sitosterol. Hydrilla verticillata merupakan salah satu ciptaan Allah SWT yang memiliki potensi sebagai antioksidan. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui aktivitas antioksidan dan mengidentifikasi senyawa steroid pada isolat hasil pemisahan fraksi n-heksana H. verticillata. Senyawa steroid diekstraksi menggunakan pelarut metanol. Ekstrak pekat metanol dihidrolisis dengan HCl 2 N dan dipartisi dengan n-heksana. Fraksi n-heksana hasil partisi diuji fitokimia dan dipisahkan senyawanya menggunakan KLT (Kromatografi Lapis Tipis). Identifikasi dilakukan menggunakan UV-Vis, FTIR, dan LC-MS/MS. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan ekstraksi maserasi menghasilkan rendemen 5,14%, sedangkan rendemen partisi n-heksana sebesar 47,95%. Pemisahan steroid menggunakan KLT analitik menunjukkan bahwa variasi eluen terbaik adalah n-heksana: etil asetat (4:1) dengan 12 noda, sedangkan pemisahan KLT preparatif menghasilkan 19 noda. Isolat steroid hasil KLT preparatif memiliki aktivitas antioksidan dengan EC50 5,109 ppm.

Objective: The aim of this research was to isolate and identify flavonoids extracted from the leaves of Moricandia arvensis.Methods: The phytochemical screening reaction and thin-layer chromatography have been used to characterize the chemical groups, before they were identified by nuclear magnetic resonance.Results: The leaves contain essentially flavonoids, tannins, cardenolides, saponins, and alkaloids. The phytochemical investigation of the water-acetone extract led to the isolation of five flavonoids derivatives, namely: 5,7-dihydroxy-3,6,4’-trimethoxyflavone (1); 5,7,4’-trihydroxy- 3,6,8,3’-tetramethoxyflavone (2); 3,3’,4’, 5,7- pentahydroxy flavanone (3); 3-glucosyl 3’,4’,5,7 tetrahydroxy flavonol (4); and kaempférol-3- digalactopyranoside (5). The structures of 1–5 were identified by comparison of their spectral data with those reported in the literature.Conclusion: In this work, it was possible to isolate and identify five flavonoids after fractionation of the hydroacetone extract from the leaves of the medicinal plant M. arvensis.

Plants are a rich source of effective non-toxic biologically active substances. Various physicochemical methods of analysis are used for evaluation of plant antioxidant activity. Composition of ethanol extracts of red, yellow and white onion husks, dried rosemary, basil, and chaga were studied by high performance thin layer chromatography (HPTLC) method. The antioxidant activity of the obtained fractions on a chromatographic plate was assessed by subsequent DPPH screening. The extracts red and yellow onion husk and rosemary demonstrated the highest antioxidant activity, variability of the qualitative composition and similarity of antioxidant profiles, while extract of white onion husks did not contain any antioxidant classes. Intensive spots with Rf of 0.13-0.97 were observed along the whole chromatogram track corresponding to red onion husks. It was also found that all tested extract, excepting white onion husk and chaga, contained spots with varying degrees of intensity in the Rf range of 0.96-0.98, which corresponded quercetin Rf value.

Abstract Background: Alpinia officinarum Hance (ginger family) is an important Chinese medicine, especially in Southern China. Objective: A simple and effective high-performance thin-layer chromatography coupled with 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl bioautography (HPTLC-DPPH) and electrospray ionization quadrupole time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry (ESI-Q-TOF-MS/MS) method was developed for the bioactivity-based quality control of A. officinarum. Methods: The HPTLC-DPPH and ESI-Q-TOF-MS/MS were applied for the analysis of different parts of A. officinarum after using methanol extraction for 23 batches of taproot, four batches of aerial, and three batches of fibril parts. Results: The systematic evaluation showed that similar components in taproot and aerial parts make the major antioxidant activity. However, based on our evaluation, the antioxidant ability of the aerial parts is lower than the taproot parts. There is also a significant difference (P < 0.05) between taproot and fibril parts of the root. The chemical structures of compounds with the antioxidant capacity were tentatively identified as 5R-hydroxy-7-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-1-phenyl-3-heptanone (band 1), kaempferide (band 2), and galangin (band 3) based on ESI-Q-TOF-MS/MS analytical results and further confirmed by standards. Conclusions: This identification indicated that two flavonoid compounds and one diarylheptanoid compound possessed high potentials to be used as the antioxidant biomarkers for the quality control of A. officinarum. Highlights: The comparison of different parts could be considered as guidelines for the usage of A. officinarum.

Objectives: In this study, systematic pharmacognostic study and preliminary phytochemical screening of the bark of Cascabela thevetia L. were carried out. Methods: The selected plant part was collected, processed and stored in an airtight container. From the bark different pharmacognostic studies like macroscopic and microscopic evaluation, physicochemical parameters, fluorescence analysis were done. Powdered bark was successively extracted by petroleum ether, chloroform, ethyl acetate, and methanol using a Soxhlet apparatus and finally macerated with the hydro-alcoholic solvent system (30:70). The preliminary phytochemical analysis and thin layer chromatography of the extracts were done to find the nature and number of the different phytoconstituents present. Results: Transverse microscopy reveals the presence of crystal oxalate, cork cell, starch granules, vascular bundle, phloem fiber, parenchyma cells, and collenchyma cells. Powder microscopy also showed the presence of cork cell, fiber and calcium oxalate crystal. Results obtained in different physicochemical analysis like total ash, acid insoluble ash, water soluble ash, alcohol-soluble extractive, water-soluble extractive, and moisture content were 8.67%, 0.83%, 5.33%, 4.53%, 12.27%, and 7.83% respectively. Phytochemical analysis showed the presence of alkaloid, flavonoid, triterpenoid, phytosterol, tannin, saponin, anthraquinone, carbohydrate and fatty acid in the different extracts. TLC (Thin Layer Chromatography) study revealed 4 spots in petroleum ether, chloroform, ethyl acetate, and methanol extracts and 3 spots in the Hydro-alcoholic extract with different solvent systems. Conclusion: The results obtained from the study will provide a reliable basis for identification, purity, and quality of the plant.
