The methanol extract of the dried ripe fruits of Alpinia rafflesiana was investigated for its DPPH free radical scavenger constituents. 2′,3′,4′,6′-Tetrahydroxychalcone (7), which has never been isolated from natural sources was found to be most active as a DPPH free radical scavenger with the IC50 value of 55 μᴍ. Other known compounds isolated from this species include 5,6-dehydrokawain (1), flavokawin B (2), 1,7-diphenyl-5-hydroxy-6-hepten-3-one (3), (-)-pinocembrin (4), cardamonin (5) and (-)-pinostrobin (6). The DPPH free radical scavenger compounds were detected using TLC autographic analysis. The percentage inhibition of DPPH free radical scavenging activity was measured on isolates (5-7) using colorimetric analysis.

Different Seasons

Our research was focused on the evaluation of bergenin content and free radical scavenging activity of extracts prepared from three different species of Bergenia - B. crassifolia (L.) Fritsch., B. ciliata (Haw.) Sternb. and B. x ornata Stein. collected during different seasons. Using an HPLC method, the highest total amount of bergenin was revealed in the leaves of B. x ornata and B. crassifolia (4.9 - 5.1 mg.g−1). Free radical scavenging power was determined by two methods - FRAP and NADH. The best free radical scavengers were B. crassifolia (FRAP: 6.7 - 15.9 mg GAE.100g−1; NADH: 20.3 - 50.9%) and B. ornata (FRAP: 13.7 - 15.2 mg GAE.100g−1; NADH: 29.3 - 31.1%). The lowest content of bergenin and the weakest radical scavenger was B. ciliata (bergenin: 3.1 mg.g−1; FRAP: 5.5 - 11.0 mg GAE.100g−1; NADH: 23.2 - 25.6%). The presence of a large percentage of bergenin is responsible for the radical scavenging activity, as shown by the results from the FRAP and NADH assays. Significant, positive correlation was found between bergenin content and radical scavenging activity in both methods.

Ekstrak metanol dan vitamin C memiliki kapasitas menangkal radikal bebas DPPH dan daya reduksi yang paling tinggi kemudian diikuti ekstrak etanol dan etilasetat. Kemampuan menangkal radikal bebas ekstrak metanol dan vitamin C pada konsentrasi 200 µg/ml masing-masing sebesar 90% dan 88,31% sedangkan daya reduksi masing-masing sebesar 0,54 dan 0,62. Kesimpulannya, ekstrak metanol memiliki kapasitas antioksidan yang paling tinggi dibandingkan dengan ekstrak etanol dan etilasetat. Abstract Free Radical Scavenging Activity and Reducing Power of Akway (Drimys piperita Hook. f.) Bark ExtractsAkway (Drimys piperita Hook. f) was a woody and aromatic plant of winteraceae. This plant was used as traditional medical plant to heal malaria and to enhance vitality of body. Some studies were done to know bioactivity potency of akway extracts. D. piperita bark extract contains alkaloid, saponin, tanin, flavonoid, terpenoid and glycoside. The bark essential oil of the plant consists of lynalool, β-pinene, α-pinene, nerolidol and terpineol. Those compounds were exhibited high antioxidant activity. The objectives of this research were to determine total phenol and flavonoid of the extracts and its antioxidant capacity which was compared to antioxidant capacity of vitamin C. The assay of antioxidant capacity comprised of total phenol and flavonoid content, free radical scavenging activity, and reducing power. Total phenol and flavonoid was determined using Folin-Ciocalteu and aluminum chloride method, respectively while determination of free radical scavenging activity and reducing power using DPPH-radical scavenging and Fe+3 to Fe+2 reducing power method, respectively. The results indicated that methanol extract had the highest in total phenol and flavonoid content. Total phenol and flavonoid of methanol extract were 18.22% and 14.32%, respectively. Vitamin C and methanol extract had the highest DPPH (1,1-Diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl)-radical scavenging activity and reducing power, respectively. DPPH-radical scavenging activity of methanol extract and vitamin C in concentration of 200 µg/ml were 90% and 88.31%, respectively while its reducing power were 0.54 and 0,62, respectively. As conclusion, methanol extract had the highest antioxidant activity compared with ethanol and ethyl acetate extracts.

AbstractPresent research is oriented on the synthesis of some novel 12-(N-arylmethaniminyl)indolo[1,2-c]quinazoline analogs (4b1-4b11) and their characterization by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, FTIR and mass spectrophotometry. Their free radical scavenging activity and antibacterial potential were also evaluated. Many derivatives have shown a marked free radical scavenging capacity in all the concentrations but specifically compounds 4b7, 4b8 and 4b11 have shown good antioxidant potential with an IC50 value of 25.18 μmol/L, 28.09 μmol/L ---amp--- 44.22 μmol/L, respectively (DPPH method) and 39.46 μmol/L, 44.47 μmol/L ---amp--- 35.61 μmol/L, respectively (H2O2 method). The antibacterial evaluation was carried out against B. subtilis and E. coli by agar well diffusion method and it revealed that all the compounds in the series were having marked antibacterial activity but compounds 4b9 and 4b11 have shown best antibacterial potential. Then, it was concluded that the derivatives which were containing substituted anilines (4-Nitro, 4-Fluoro, 4-Bromo ---amp--- 4-Chloro-2-nitro) on the carbon attached on the 12th position of indoloquinazoline moiety were having marked potential as an antibacterial and free radical scavenger.

 Objective: This study was aimed to isolate and identify the chemical compounds from the methanol extract of the stems of Etlingera calophrys as well as to evaluate their potential as free radical scavengers. Methods: The isolated compounds were obtained using vacuum liquid chromatography (VLC) and radial chromatography techniques. The structures of these compounds were determined on the basis of their measured spectroscopic evidence (infrared, one dimentional (1D), and 2D nuclear magnetic resonance) and by comparison with literature data. The free radical scavenging activity of the methanol extract of the stems and the isolated compounds were measured using qualitative and quantitative 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assays. Results: Yakuchinone A (1), p-hydroxybenzoic acid (2), and stigmasterol (3) were successfully isolated and identified from the stems of E. calophyrs. The methanol extract and compounds 1–3 showed free radical scavenging activity with half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) values of 38.36, 39.07, 46.60, and 153.4 μg/mL, respectively, as compared to ascorbic acid with an IC50 value of 10.53 μg/mL. Conclusions: Yakuchinone A (1) and p-hydroxybenzoic acid (2) are first reported from the genus Etlingera. The presence of these compounds may contribute to the free radical scavenging activity of the methanol extract of the stems of E. calophrys. This finding suggested that E. calophrys may serve as a source of natural antioxidant compounds and could be used in the development of antioxidant herbal preparation.

The effects of Arctium lappa L. (root) on anti-inflammatory and free radical scavenger activity were investigated. Subcutaneous administration of A. lappa crude extract significantly decreased carrageenan-induced rat paw edema. When simultaneously treated with CCl4, it produced pronounced activities against CCl4-induced acute liver damage. The free radical scavenging activity of its crude extract was also examined by means of an electron spin resonance (ESR) spectrometer. The IC50 of A. lappa extract on superoxide and hydroxyl radical scavenger activity was 2.06 mg/m 11.8 mg/m1, respectively. These findings suggest that Arctium lappa possess free radical scavenging activity. The inhibitory effects on carrageenan-induced paw edema and CCl4-induced hepatotoxicity could be due to the scavenging effect of A. lappa.
