Introduction: P. lappacea is a plant used in traditional medicine, in the regions of Niamey and Tillaberi, as anti-hemorrhoids. It contains tannins, sterols, triterpenes, saponosides, mucilages, anthracene derivatives, oses and holosides for which it is necessary to appreciate the activities relating to the medicinal virtues. Objective: To contribute to the phytochemical and pharmacological study of Pupalia lappacea, through the semi-quantitative estimation of phytocomposés and the research of the antiradical power of its various extracts. Methodology: Phytochemical screening, semiquantitative estimation and a study of the antioxidant activity of phytocomposites were carried out by thin layer chromatography (TLC) from extracts obtained with increasing polarity solvents. Results: All P. lappacea extracts contain a large number of bioactive chemical compounds. Substances with antihaemorrhoidal activity (phenolic compounds, tannins) are found mainly in the aqueous extracts (digested, decoct exhausted) and the methanolic extract. The strongest antiradical activity observed with the digest and the spent decoction after migration in the solvent system. Ethyl acetate - Methyl ethyl ketone - Formic acid - Water (5-3-1-1) would be linked to phenolic compounds. A less severe free radical activity, probably due to terpenic substances, was observed with the BAW solvent system (60-15-25). The extract corresponding to the traditional (decocted) use of P. lappacea also has low antioxidant activity. Conclusion: The use of P. lappacea as antihemorrhoid is justified. However, the digest and the spent decoction would have greater anti-hemorrhoidal properties than those of the decoction obtained by the traditional method. An assay of the phenolic compounds, tannins, terpenic compounds, in the infused, the decoction, the digested and the exhausted decoction would make it possible to choose the best method of extraction and to improve the anti-hemorrhoidal effect of the P. lappacea based medicinal preparations.

Abstract For comparative purposes, a quantitative estimation of antioxidant activity of phenolic compounds of different classes was conducted by way of the polarography method, via the ADP-Fe2+ model of the induced ascorbate-dependent lipid peroxidation of rat liver micro-somes within an in-vitro system. As a result, it was recognized that the antioxidant properties of phenolic compounds depend on the nature and chemical structure of several substances. In respect of such activity, leaders in the classes of investigated polyphenolic compounds are: Propyl gallate = Gallotannin (Phenolcarboxylic acids and their derivatives) > Quercetin = Myricetin (Flavonols) > Luteolin (Flavo n) = Mangiferin (Xanthones) > Kaempferol (Flavonols) = Catechin (Flavans). Thus, the assessment of the inhibition ability of the lipid peroxidation of microsomes by phenolic compounds can be used as an accessible test for the preliminary quantitative estimation of their antioxidant properties.

The aim of this study was to analyse the effect of spontaneous microbial maceration on the release and extraction of the flavonoids and phenolics from olive leaves. Bioprofiling based on thin-layer chromatography effect-directed detection followed by ATR-FTIR spectroscopy proved to be a reliable and convenient method for simultaneous comparison of the extracts. Results show that fermentation significantly enhances the extraction of phenolic compounds and flavonoids. The polyphenolic content was increased from 6.7 µg GAE (gallic acid equivalents) to 25.5 µg GAE, antioxidants from 10.3 µg GAE to 25.3 µg GAE, and flavonoid content from 42 µg RE (rutin equivalents) to 238 µg RE per 20 µL of extract. Increased antioxidant activity of fermented ethyl acetate extracts was attributed to the higher concentration of extracted flavonoids and phenolic terpenoids, while increased antioxidant activity in fermented ethanol extract was due to increased extraction of flavonoids as extraction of phenolic compounds was not improved. Lactic acid that is released during fermentation and glycine present in the olive leaves form a natural deep eutectic solvent (NADES) with significantly increased solubility for flavonoids.

Achyranthes aspera and Cissus quadrangularis are important medicinal plants possessing wide biological activity. The natural products obtained from plants provides an unique opportunity for the development of new drugs but due to their complex nature there is a need to isolate and purify the bioactive compounds from plant extracts by separation techniques. Our earlier findings revealed that methanol extracts of A. aspera and C. quadrangularis and aqueous extract of C. quadrangularis exhibited antibacterial activity. This prompted to take up further research to reveal these plants’ potential valuable phytochemicals and therefore an attempt has been made to separate the phytochemical constituents of methanol and aqueous extracts of A. aspera and C. quadrangularis by thin layer chromatography. Phytochemical screening of both plant extracts revealed more concentrated phytochemicals in methanol extracts than in aqueous extracts. The TLC profiling showed that methanol extract of A. aspera and C. quadrangularis are rich in flavonoids and phenolic compounds. Flavonoids were separated with n-butanol:ethyl acetate:water (1:2:3) solvent system at Rf value of 0.66 and was confirmed by post-development derivatization with 3% boric acid and 10% oxalic acid spray. After derivatization, the flavonoid spot could be further visualized under UV light at 254nm. Phenolic compounds were separated with methanol:water (2:1) solvent system at Rf value of 0.88 and confirmed with 10% ferric chloride spray. From the present study, suitable mobile phase for separation of flavonoids and phenolic compound fraction from methanol and aqueous extracts of both plants and TLC profiling have been developed

The production of phytochemicals in plants can be influenced by several factors. This work evaluated the influence of seasonality on phytochemical composition, phenolic content, and antioxidant activity of Neoglaziovia variegata. The leaves were harvested for a year. Phytochemical characterization by thin-layer chromatography indicated the presence of anthocyanins, anthraquinones, anthracene derivatives, flavonoids, tannins, monoterpenes, diterpenes, triterpenes, and steroids in the leaves collected in all months, and coumarins in leaves of 4 of the 12 months of collection. The antioxidant activity, evaluated in vitro, ranged from 33.0 to 86.1% inhibition of DPPH• and from 36.2 to 97.8% inhibition of ABTS•+. The total phenolic content, determined using Folin-Ciocalteu reagent, varied between 21.5 and 65.8 mg GAE/g. Phenolic acids and flavonoids were determined by HPLC-DAD, with higher concentrations of kaempferol (0.47-3.57 mg/g), p-coumaric (0.19-3.59 mg/g) and ellagic (0.26-3.31 mg/g) acids. The Principal Component Analysis (PCA) indicated the separation of the leaf samples according to the season. It was demonstrated the influence of seasonality on the antioxidant activity and phytochemical composition of N. variegata leaves and that this species is rich in secondary metabolites of different classes, with potential applications in several areas, such as pharmaceutical and food.

The Solanum melongena is used traditionally to treat different diseases such as cancer, atherosclerosis, and inflammation. This study is aimed at investigating the thin-layer chromatography analysis and antioxidant activity of n-hexane, acetone and methanol leaves extract of Solanum melongena. Sequential extraction with solvents of increasing polarity was carried out using the n-hexane, ethyl acetate and methanol. The thin-layer chromatography of the extracts carried out with different solvent system. Antioxidant activity was evaluated quantitatively using DPPH (2, 2-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) for its free radical scavenging ability. The results of thin-layer chromatography revealed some spots with Rf values in the respective extracts, n-hexane (0.31, 0.42, 0.59, 0.65, 0.72, 0.85, 0.92), acetone (0.97, 0.92, 0.88 and 0.59) and methanol (0.72, 0.83, 0.86, 0.94 and 0.96). The extracts exhibit strong antioxidant activities as radical scavengers, indicating that they have strong proton donating abilities. The results from this research show credence to the traditional application of the plant. Further research is recommended on the isolation and characterization of the antioxidant compounds from the plant.

The fruits belonging to the family Myrtaceae are known sources of compounds with functional characteristics. Nevertheless, the studies are focused only on some species of this family. In this sense, we aimed to quantify the bioactive compounds present in the pulps of cambuci, feijoa, uvaia and grumixama; to evaluate the in vitro antioxidant capacity of each one and to correlate the contribution of these bioactive compounds with the antioxidant activity of each fruit pulp. For this, the compounds ascorbic acid, phenolic compounds, carotenoids, and flavonoids were quantified for the pulps of cambuci, feijoa, uvaia, and grumixama, as well as the in vitro antioxidant capacity by the methods DPPH and ABTS. The results were evaluated by multivariate statistical techniques. The pulps present good antioxidant potential, the one from cambuci presented the highest values for antioxidant activity given by the method DPPH (61.86 µg of Trolox g-1), that from uvaia was prominent by the presence of ascorbic acid (85.40 ascorbic acid 100 g-1) and that from feijoa, by the flavonoid contents (62.45 mg quercetin g-1) and phenolic compounds (10.21 mg gallic acid equivalent g–1). A correlation was observed between pulp antioxidant capacity and the contents of ascorbic acid and carotenoids; on the other hand, the phenolic compounds and flavonoids little contributed for the anti-free radical activity of the methods DPPH and ABTS.
