ABSTRACT The process of excessive free radicals  in our body plays a major part in the development of chronic and degenerative illness such as cancer, autoimmune disorders, aging, cataract, rheumatoid arthritis, cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases. The recently study reported that free radical and oxidants play a dual role as both toxic and beneficial compounds, since they can be either harmful or helpful to the body. Therefore, natural antioxidants can be explored to prevent degenerative diseases and in the present paper we have investigated antioxidant activity of extracts from Nicolaia speciose (Bl.) Horan flower and Muntingia calabura L.  fruit for its free radical scavenging activity using 2,2-diphenyl, 1-picryl hydrazil (DPPH) radical scavenging activity. The results revealed that both ethyl acetate fractions of N.  speciaose and M. calabura have the highest antioxidant activitiy with IC50 29.81 and 14.48 µg/ml respectively.   The antioxidant activity of both ethanolic extracts were more potent than hexan and water fractions with IC50 39.27 and 137.20 µg/ml respectively. The investigation of IC50 values indicated that the antioxidant activity show moderate to very active. Active compounds were identified using thin layer chromatography with FeCl3, AlCl3, 2,4-DNPH and anisaldehide-H2SO4 spray reagents. Chromatogram of ethylacetate fraction showed that spots on the hRf 12 and 56 were thought to contain phenolic compounds with a carbonyl group, while the hRf 37 was suspected flavone compounds with 3-OH group and the hRf 50 was alleged the ortho-dihydroxy flavone or ortho hydroxy and free carbonyl. Chromatogram of ethyl acetate of talok fruits fraction showed that spots on the hRf 19.31 and 44 were suspected flavone compounds with ortho-hydroxy-carbonyl group and or ortho-hydroxy. ABSTRAK Radikal bebas berlebih dalam tubuh dapat memicu tumbuhnya sel kanker, penyumbatan pembuluh jantung, kerusakan oksidatif otak dan penuaan dini. Hal ini menyebabkan penelitian tentang potensi antioksidan terus mengalami peningkatan, terutama antioksidan alami dari tanaman. Bunga kecombrang (Nicolaia speciosa (BI.) Horan) dan buah talok (Muntingia Calabura L.) dilaporkan aktif sebagai antioksidan dan mengandung senyawa aktif dengan tingkat kepolaran yang berbeda. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji aktivitas dengan penangkapan radikal bebas fraksi-fraksi ekstrak bunga kecombrang dan buah talok serta karakterisasi golongan senyawa aktifnya. Hasil fraksinasi ekstrak diuji dengan larutan DPPH 0,4 mM dan diukur dengan spektrofotometer UV-Vis pada panjang gelombang 517 nm. Hasil absorbansi sampel dan kontrol diolah untuk mendapatkan persen penangkapan radikal DPPH dan aktivitas antioksidan dievaluasi melalui nilai IC50. Senyawa aktif diidentifikasi menggunakan kromatografi lapis tipis dengan penampak bercak FeCl3, AlCl3, 2,4-DNPH dan anisaldehid-H2SO4.  Fraksi-fraksi ekstrak bunga kecombrang dan buah talok menunjukkan tingkat kekuatan antioksidan antara sedang sampai sangat aktif. Fraksi etil asetat bunga kecombrang serta buah talok memiliki aktivitas penangkapan radikal bebas tertinggi dengan IC50 sebesar 29,81 µg/ml dan 14,48 µg/ml. Pada fraksi etil asetat ini, buah talok mempunyai potensi aktivitas antioksidan dua kali lipatnya dari bunga kecombrang.  Fraksi air, ekstrak etanol serta fraksi heksan bunga kecombrang memiliki IC50 sebesar 39,27 µg/ml, 44,08 µg/ml, dan 135,36 µg/ml. Sedangkan ekstrak etanol, fraksi air serta fraksi heksan buah talok memiliki IC50 sebesar 137,20 µg/ml, 282,47 µg/ml, dan 2611,70 µg/ml. Hasil KLT fraksi etil asetat buah kecombrang menunjukkan bahwa bercak pada hRf 12 dan 56 mengandung senyawa fenolik dengan gugus karbonil, sedangkan hRf 37 diduga senyawa flavon dengan gugus 3-OH dan pada hRf 50 merupakan flavon dengan o-dihidroksi dan atau o-hidroksi karbonil bebas. Kemudian hasil KLT fraksi etil asetat buah talok menunjukkan bahwa bercak dengan nilai hRf  19, 31, dan 44 merupakan flavon dengan gugus o-hidroksi karbonil dan atau gugus o-dihidroksi. Bercak pada hRf 31 juga mengindikasikan adanya senyawa terpenoid.

Yinchenhao (Artemisia capillaris Thunb.) is a pharmaceutical agent that not only shows therapeutic effects against hepatobiliary diseases but also offers various physiological benefits. This study examined the extraction rates of antioxidant extracts from Yinchenhao leaves using different solvents. The extraction rates using different solvents were as follows: ethanol (12.1 ± 0.87%) > water (7.7 ± 0.45%) > n-butanol (1.3 ± 0.16%) ethyl acetate > (1.3 ± 0.14%) > n-hexane (1.1 ± 0.15%). The n-butanol and ethyl acetate extracts showed higher 1,1-Diphenyl-2 picrylhydrazyl radical free radical scavenging activity, 2,2′-azinobis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonate) free radical scavenging activity and ferric ion reducing antioxidant activity, while n-hexane extracts showed weak antioxidant activity. In conclusion, Yinchenhao leaf has potential as a natural antioxidant, and n-butanol and ethyl acetate may be effective extraction solvents for studying its antioxidant activities.

Abstract Background Synthetic antioxidants have toxigenic effects, there is therefore growing interest in substituting them with natural antioxidants. Attention is being focused on extracting them from agricultural industry residuals to minimize costs. Legume seed hulls could be cheap sources of such natural antioxidants. Objective This study aims to unravel potential free radical scavenging activity, antioxidant activity, and total phenolic and flavonoid contents of some legumes’ hulls extracted by different solvents and evaluate their efficacy to enhance sunflower oil stability. Method Legume hulls extracted by different solvents were evaluated for their antioxidant activity coefficient (AAC), free radical scavenging activity [by 2,2-diphenyl-1- picrylhydrazyl (DPPH)], and phenolic and flavonoids contents. The protection factor and induction periods (rancimat test) of the highest activity extracts were evaluated. Results Sunflower seed hull ethyl acetate extract, lupine seed hull ethanol extract, and mung bean hull petroleum ether extract exhibited stronger DPPH scavenging activity, AAC, and protection factor values than other solvents. Ethyl acetate extracts of sunflower seed hulls showed an antioxidant and scavenging activity close (P>0.05) to that detected for α-tocopherol. Conclusions Legume hulls may possess strong free radical scavenging and antioxidant activity. The analogous effect between sunflower hull extract and α-tocopherol make it a potential, cheaper substitute of α-tocopherol in food systems. Highlights The analogous effect between sunflower hull extract and α-tocopherol give it the potency to allow substitution at a concentration of 0.5% of sunflower hull ethyl acetate or 1% of lupine hull ethanol extract instead of 0.5% α-tocopherol to enhance induction periods and protection factors of sunflower oil.

Scavenging Activity

Numerous diseases are induced by free radicals via lipid peroxidation, protein peroxidation and DNA damage. It has been known that a variety of plant extracts have antioxidant activity to scavenge free radicals. Campomanesia adamantium (Myrtaceae) is a small tree with edible fruit, commonly known as “guavira” or “guabiroba-branca” that has been used in popular medicine as depurative anti-diarrhoeic, anti-inflammatory, anti-rheumatic and to liver diseases. In this study, the antiradical activities of ethanol crude extract of the leaves from C. adamantium and the ethyl acetate and butanol fractions obtained by partition, were determined using DPPH (2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical) and ORAC-FL (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) assays. The total phenol content in the samples was estimated by Folin Ciocalteau method (FCR). In an initial evaluation the ethanolic extract and the fractions ethyl acetate and butanol have shown levels of phenolic compounds between 15- 74 mg GAE/g in FCR assay, showed DPPH free-radical scavenging activity with SC50 in the range of 7.77-13.35 μg/mL and demonstrated antioxidant capacity between 2648-3502 μmol TE/g of extract and fractions in the ORAC-FL assay. HPLC-DAD and ESIMS analysis revealed were that the extract of the leaves of C. adamantium studied appears to contain flavonoids as major constituents, including isoquercetrin and quercetin that exhibit proven antioxidant activity.

Using natural products as antioxidant agents has been beneficial to replace synthetic products. Efforts have been made to profile the antioxidant capacities of natural resources, such as medicinal plants. The polyphenol content of Himalayan rhubarb, Rheum emodi wall, was measured and the antioxidant activity was determined using DPPH and ABTS+ assay, and the oxidative stress was assessed using SOD enzymatic assay. Five different solvent fractions, n-hexane, n-butanol, ethyl acetate, dichloromethane, and water, were used for screening the antioxidant capacity in effort to determine the optimum extraction solvent. The total phenolic contents for R. emodi fractions ranged from 27.76 to 209.21 mg of gallic acid equivalents (GAE)/g of dry weight. DPPH and ABTS+ assay results are presented into IC50 values, ranged from 21.52 to 2448.79 μg/mL and 90.25 to 1718.05 μg/mL, respectively. The ethyl acetate fraction had the highest antioxidant activity among other fractions. Also, n-butanol and water fractions showed significantly lower IC50 values than the positive control in DPPH radical scavenging activity. The IC50 values of SOD assay of fractions ranged from 2.31 to 64.78 μg/mL. A similar result was observed with ethyl acetate fraction showing the highest SOD radical scavenging activity. The study suggests that the ethyl acetate fraction of R. emodi possess the strongest antioxidant activity, thus the most efficient in extracting antioxidant contents. Moreover, a highly significant correlation was shown between total polyphenol content and antioxidant activity screening assays. The compounds related to the antioxidant activity of R. emodi were identified to myricitrin, myricetin 3-galloyl rhamnoside, and myricetin, which have not been reported in studies about R. emodi before.

Antioxidant activities of wampee peel extracts using five different solvents (ethanol, hexane, ethyl acetate, butanol and water) were determined by using in-vitro antioxidant models including total antioxidant capability, 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity, reducing power, and superoxide scavenging activity. Ethyl acetate fraction (EAF) exhibited the highest antioxidant activity compared to other fractions, even higher than synthetic antioxidant butylated hydroxyl toluene (BHT). In addition, the EAF exhibited strong anticancer activities against human gastric carcinoma (SGC-7901), human hepatocellular liver carcinoma (HepG-2) and human lung adenocarcinoma (A-549) cancer cell lines, higher than cisplatin, a conventional anticancer drug. The total phenolic content of wampee fraction was positively correlated with the antioxidant activity. This is the first report on the antioxidant and anticancer activities of the wampee peel extract. Thus, wampee peel can be used potentially as a readily accessible source of natural antioxidants and a possible pharmaceutical supplement.
