 Objective: The present research work was carried out to evaluate the antioxidant potential of ethanolic extract of Punica granatum leaf (EPGL) that belongs to the family of Punicaceae and determine its gallic acid (GA) content using chromatography method.Methods: Six complementary test systems, namely, 1,1-diphenyl 2-picryl hydrazine (DPPH), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), superoxide (SO), nitric oxide (NO), hydroxyl (OH) radical scavenging, and reducing power activities were analyzed for determining antioxidant activity of EPGL. The simple and novel chromatography techniques such as thin-layer chromatography (TLC) and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) were used for the detection and quantification of GA in EPGL.Results: IC50 values of EPGL were found to be 136 μg/ml for DPPH, 88.5 μg/ml for H2O2, 16.8 μg/ml for SO, 96.5 μg/ml for NO, and 143 μg/ml for OH. The ascorbic acid (AA) and GA were used as standard compounds. The absorbance of EPGL in reducing power assay was found to be 0.18 at 100 μg/ ml, while AA and GA absorbance was found to be 0.24 and 0.4 at the same concentration. The amount of GA in EPGL was found to be 1.189 mg/g.Conclusion: These findings suggested that EPGL could be a potential source of natural antioxidant, and HPLC method used for the determination of GA is simple, precise, accurate, and suitable for routine analysis of GA in EPGL.

A novel derivative of dextran, dextran–gallic acid (Dex–Gal), obtained from simple conjugation with gallic acid, was synthesized by an efficient free radical-mediated method. To verify the synthesis of Dex–Gal, 1H-nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometry, and high-performance size-exclusion chromatography (HPSEC) were employed. The results revealed the conjugation of gallic acid with the 15.5 kDa dextran from Leuconostoc mesenteroides. Dex–Gal had a molecular weight of 11.2 kDa, indicating that the conjugation reaction was accompanied by a minor degradation of Dex–Gal. In addition, Dex–Gal contained 36.8 ± 1.4 mg gallic acid per gram dextran. These molecules were also evaluated as antioxidants using total antioxidant capacity (TAC), reducing power, ferric chelation, and superoxide radical-scavenging assays. Both polysaccharides had no ferric chelation activity. In addition, Dex–Gal was more efficient as an antioxidant agent in TAC (13 times) and was more efficient than dextran in superoxide radical-scavenging (60 times) and reducing power (90 times) assays. These data demonstrate that Dex–Gal is a natural-compound-based antioxidant with potential applications in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and food industries.

The antioxidant and free radical scavenging activities of Bitter Melon Momordica charantia exracts including phenolic compounds, ethanolic and aqueous were studied. Phenolic compounds were extracted, purified and identified by High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) method. The main phenolic constituents, which were present in the fruit extract of bitter melon, were gallic acid, protocatechuic acid, gentisic acid, catechin, chlorogenic acid and epicatechin. The results clearly indicated that phenolic compounds have an effective antioxidant activity by using Ferric Thiocyanate (FTC) method. Phenolic compounds caused 91.25% lipid peroxidation inhibition of linoleic acid emulsion. This activity was greater than ethanolic extract 82.5%, - tocopherol 70% and aqueous extract 49.58%. Also the phenolic compounds revealed obvious activity for H2O2 scavenging 68.8% in comparison with - tocopherol 45.3%, ethanolic extract 52.6% and aqueous extract 36.2%. These results confirmed the important role of phenolic compounds as antioxidants and the most antioxidant activity of bitter melon fruits belong to these compounds.

Ellagic and Gallic acid are main phytoconstituents of S.cumini seeds. These are the phenolic compounds. An approach for the stress degradation was successfully applied for the development of stability indicating HPLC method for the determination of Ellagic and Gallic acid. Sample was resolved on a Hypersil C18 (250*4.6 mm particle size 5?) column. The mobile phase consisted of 1% OPA and ACN and in the ratio of 70:30 v/v which was sonicated to degas and delivered at a flow rate of 1ml/min at ambient temperature. The retention time of Ellagic acid and Gallic acid was 3.1±0.05 & 4.1±0.05 minutes. Studies were performed using an HPLC system equipped with a UV detector; the response was monitored at 271nm. The method is specific to Ellagic and Gallic acid; it is able to resolve the peak from ethanolic extract of s.cumini seeds and formulation. The calibration curve was linear over the concentration range of 8-24 ?g/ml (r2=0.997, 0.998 resp). The limit of detection for  Ellagic acid and Gallic acid   was found to be 0.25?g/ml, 0.15?g/ml resp. and the quantification limit was about 0.75?g/m, 0.49?g/ml. The accuracy of the method was established based on the recovery studies. The markers were subjected to acid, base, neutral hydrolysis, oxidation, thermal degradation and photolysis. The method was successfully validated according to ICH guidelines Q2 (R1).Int J Appl Sci Biotechnol, Vol 3(3): 434-438

Madhuca longifolia (J.Koenig ex L.) Macbr. belongs to the Sapotaceae family. This research work focused on the determination of gallic acid and quercetin in an aqueous leaf extract of M. longilolia. The development and validation of the analytical method using HPLC-DAD have been performed. The validated method was applied to determine both compounds in the leaves of M. longifolia. Optimized HPLC conditions were developed and validated for specificity, linearity, sensitivity, precision and accuracy. The linearity ranges and linear regression value were 3.125 to 100 μg/mL with r2=1 for gallic acid and 0.78 to 50 μg/mL with r2=0.9999 for quercetin, respectively. The LOD and LOQ were 0.24 and 0.73 μg/mL for gallic acid and 0.21 and 0.63 μg/mL for quercetin. Intra and inter-day precision were in the range of 0.18 to 1.76. The recovery percentage were 103.86% to 104.98% for gallic acid and 100.10% to 102.97% for quercetin. The concentration ranges of gallic acid and quercetin in the extracts were 207.95 to 405.79 mg/100 g and 7.31 to 20.56 mg/100 g, respectively. The developed HPLC method was considered to be accurate, precise and reliable for the determination of gallic acid and quercetin in M. longifolia aqueous leaf extract. This may be the first-time report for HPLC-DAD method development for the determination of bioactive phenolic compounds in Madhuca longifolia from Myanmar.

AbstractThe antioxidant action of ethanolic extract from Agaricus bisporus which is available in thesupermarkets of Bucharest, Romania, was assessed by determining its reducing power and its radical scavenging activity. The determinations were made by analyzing the freeze-dried ethanolic extract. The radical scavenging activity was determined using 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), superoxide radical, nitric oxide radical and hydrogen peroxide scavenging assays. Total phenols, flavonoids, ascorbic acid, β-carotene and lycopene were also determined. The ethanolic extract from A. bisporus could be a natural antioxidant and antimicrobial source against the tested organisms, as demonstrated by the minimum inhibitory concentration values.

Background: The natural antioxidants have an important role in the prevention of many diseases. The aim of study is to investigate phytochemical components, antioxidant activity and acute oral toxicity of Pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) fruit peel (PFP) extract. Materials and methods: Phytochemicals of PFP were determined by qualitative chemical tests, thin layer chromatography, total polyphenol and flavonoid contents. The PFP extract was evaluated for antioxidant activity by DPPH assay and MDA assay. In vivo acute oral toxicity test was conducted using Karber-Behrens method to determine LD50. Results: Results illustrated that PFP mainly contains flavonoids, alkaloids, tannins, triterpenes, saponins, and coumarins. PFP extract exhibited the total polyphenol and flavonoid contents with 189.97 mg gallic acid equivalent/g dry weight and 9.42 mg quercetin equivalent/g dry weight, respectively. The DPPH free radical scavenging and anti-lipid peroxidation activities of PFP extract were expressed with IC50 value of 4.80 μg/mL and 0.38 μg/ mL, sequentially. Simultaneously, the Dmax (the maximum dose administered to mice that no toxicity was observed) of PFP extract was determined to be 21.28 g/kg, equivalent to 35.64 g dried herb. Conclusion: The PFP extract is relatively safe and revealed high antioxidant activity.
