Objective: The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of the ethanolic peel extracts of Punica granatum and Citrus sinensis on total phenolics, total antioxidants, and radical scavenging activities using different in vitro models. Methods: Pomegranate and orange fruits at the maturity stage were manually peeled, washed, and air dried before extraction. Dried peels were grinded, weighed, and extracted with 95% ethanol and were used for in vitro analysis. Different concentrations of extracts for each peel were prepared. Total phenolics content, total antioxidant capacity, and free radical scavenging activities of each peel extract were estimated in the form of Folin–Ciocalteu reagent assay, phosphomolybdenum assay, hydroxyl free radical scavenging assay, and superoxide free radical scavenging assay, respectively. Results: The ethanolic peel extracts of P. granatum and C. sinensis showed significant increased total phenolic contents and total antioxidant activity. Furthermore, radical scavenging activity (hydroxyl and superoxide) was found to be significant in both ethanolic peel extracts. Conclusion: It can be concluded from the study that the ethanolic peel extracts of P. granatum and C. sinensis has potential antioxidant and antiradical activity.

Oxidative stress has gained attention as one of the fundamental mechanisms responsible for the development of hypertension. The present study investigated in vitro and in vivo antioxidant effects of 70% ethanol-water (v/v) leaf and root extracts of T. officinale (TOL and TOR, respectively). Total phenolic and flavonoid content of plant extracts were assessed using Folin Ciocalteau and aluminium chloride colorimetric methods; while, 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrlhydrazyl (DPPH), 2,2-azinobis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS) and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) protocols were used to determine the free radical scavenging and total antioxidant capacities (TAC), respectively. The in vivo total antioxidant capacity and malondialdehyde acid (MDA) levels for lipid peroxidation tests were performed on organ homogenate samples from Nω-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME)-induced hypertensive rats treated with leaf extract, TOL (500 mg/kg/day) and TOR (500 mg/kg/day) for 21 days. Results showed that compared to TOR, TOL possessed significantly higher (p < 0.01) polyphenol (4.35 ± 0.15 compared to 1.14 ± 0.01) and flavonoid (23.17 ± 0.14 compared to 3 ± 0.05) content; free radical scavenging activity (EC50 0.37 compared to 1.34 mg/mL) and total antioxidant capacities (82.56% compared to 61.54% ABTS, and 156 ± 5.28 compared to 40 ± 0.31 FRAP) and both extracts showed no toxicity (LD50 > 5000 mg/kg). TOL and TOR significantly (p < 0.01) elevated TAC and reduced MDA levels in targets organs. In conclusion, T. officinale leaf extract possesses significant anti-oxidant effects which conferred significant in vivo antioxidant protection against free radical-mediated oxidative stress in L-NAME-induced hypertensive rats.

Though natural polysaccharides commonly show antioxidant activities, the current research on the isolation of polysaccharides from Galla Turcica and their antioxidant activities still remain as an ongoing challenge. In this work, response surface analysis was employed to optimize an ultrasonic-assisted extraction method for polysaccharides of Galla Turcica. Their antioxidant and free radical scavenging activities were then evaluated using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl, 2,2′-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid), total antioxidant activity, and iron ion reduction assays. Moreover, the protective effects of polysaccharides of Galla Turcica were determined on human embryonic kidney fibroblast 293 and hepatoma 7721 cells by cell proliferation assay. Overall, the key parameters of Galla Turcica polysaccharides extraction were optimized as crushing degree 100 mesh, ultrasonic time 50 min, and materials–liquid ratio 1:50. The isolated polysaccharides presented dose-dependent antioxidant and free radical scavenging effects in vitro. It also demonstrated an effective protective effect for human cells under oxidative damage. The results firstly determined the antioxidant activities of polysaccharides from Galla Turcica, thus providing a new natural resource for future investigation and development of the polysaccharides-based antioxidant drugs, health products, or additives.

AbstractObjectivesThe present study aimed to analyze a comparative in vitro free radical scavenging and antibacterial potentials of leaf aqueous and the successive extract fractions of Callistemon citrinus.MethodsFor in vitro antioxidant activity assessments, 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging activity, Fe3+ ion reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) assay, and total antioxidant capacity of the extracts were tested. Antibacterial potentials were tested through Agar well diffusion method using both gram-positive and gram-negative bacterial strains.ResultsData indicate the polar successive aqueous fraction (AQF) possesses the highest free radicals scavenging capacity, with lowest EC50 (the required extract concentration to scavenge half of the free radicals) for DPPH and FRAP assays, and contains the highest total phenolics (308.2±5.9 µg tannic acid equivalent/mg dry extract, DE), flavonoids (516.7±3.5 µg quercetin equivalent/mg DE), total antioxidant capacity (441.48±12.8 µg ascorbic acid equivalent/mg DE). Phenolics and flavonoids contents were positively correlated with the in vitro antioxidant activities. The antibacterial study indicates the petroleum ether and chloroform are suitable solvents for extracting antibacterial phytochemicals from C. citrinus leaves that are effective against both gram-positive and negative bacterial strains.ConclusionThe most polar fraction i.e. the successive aqueous extract fraction of C. citrinus leaves exhibited the highest antioxidant activities while the most non-polar petroleum ether extract fraction showed the highest antibacterial potentials thus these extract fractions might have therapeutic importance.

Aims: The current study aimed to explore in vitro antioxidant capacity and in vivo antidiabetic property of Citrus maxima leaf. Methods: Citrus maxima leaf extracts were prepared using methanol (MECML) and ethanol (EECML) in this study. Antioxidant capacity of both extracts was evaluated using total antioxidant capacity (TAC) assay, ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) assay, DPPH free radical scavenging assay, and ABTS free radical scavenging assay. Cytotoxicity of MECML and EECML was assessed by brine shrimp lethality bioassay. To explore the in vivo antidiabetic property of MECML and EECML, diabetic mellitus (DM) was induced in Swiss albino mice by a single intraperitoneal injection of alloxan. Then diabetic mice were treated with both extracts for 28 days. Effects of both extracts on serum levels of glucose, liver function enzymes, and parameters of lipid profile associated with DM were evaluated. Results: In TAC and FRAP assays, MECML and EECML represented gradually increased reducing capacity in a dose-dependent manner. In DPPH and ABTS assays, both extracts showed notable free radical scavenging activity with lower IC50 values. Additionally, MECML and EECML showed very low toxicity with LC50 values of 80.46 and 105.59 μg/mL, respectively in brine shrimp lethality assay. Moreover, both extracts significantly augmented altered levels of serum glucose, parameters of lipid profile, SGPT, SGOT, and C-reactive protein with the treatment of MECML and EECML.  Conclusion: This study suggests Citrus maxima leaf possesses significant antioxidant and antidiabetic properties and they might play a potential role to prevent diabetic mellitus and diabetic mellitus associated complications.
