Oil Extract

The essential oil obtained by hydrodistillation of the flowers of Rhanterium adpressum Coss. & Durieu was analyzed using GC and GC-MS. The essential oil was very rich in monoterpene compounds. The major components identified were the monoterpene hydrocarbons: camphene (21.8%), myrcene (19.3%) and α-pinene (17.4%). Other compounds, including limonene, β-pinene and terpinol-4-ol, were present in low content (4–6%). The composition of the fatty acids in the lipid extract obtained from the flowers was also investigated by GC and GC-MS. The main fatty acids identified were palmitic (47.4%), oleic (12.9%) and stearic acids (10.6%). The total phenolic contents and the antioxidant activities were also evaluated for both extracts. The total phenolic contents were determined using the Folin-Ciocalteu reagent and the antioxidant activities were measured using three different assays: DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) free radical scavenging activity, FRAP (ferric reducing antioxidant potential) and a molybdenum assay. As a result of these tests, the lipid extract exhibited the highest antioxidant activities in comparison with the essential oil extract.

The antibacterial and antifungal activities of the bulb and flower of Allium staticiforme and Allium subhirsutum were investigated. In addition, DPPH radical scavenging activity and total phenolic contents were determined. The results show that methanolic extracts of A. staticiforme and A. subhirsutum had antifungal activities against Candida albicans, together with a less activity level against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus epidermidis, S. aureus, Enterecoccus faecalis, Salmonella typhimurium and Pseudomanas aeruginosa. The total phenolic contents of A. staticiforme leaf and bulb were determined as 17 and 2.4 mg of GAE/100 g, respectively. The IC50 of methanolic extracts of A. staticiforme and A. subhirsutum were also determined. In conclusion, both A. staticiforme and A. subhirsutum have antifungal activities with weak antibacterial activities. These plants have DPPH radical scavenging activities.

Vernonia Cinerea

Vernonia cinerea, belonging to the family Asteraceae, is of wide medicinal application. This study investigated the antimicrobial, antioxidant activities and the total phenolic contents of wild plant of Vernonia cinerea with its respective shoot cultures.Nodal explants of V. cinerea were cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with various combinations of BAP (0.5-2.5 mg/L) and NAA (0.1-0.5 mg/L) including various concentrations of Gibberllic acid for subculturing. The antimicrobial activity of plant extracts was tested using agar well diffusion and macrodilution methods for zone of inhibition (ZI), minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC).The free radical scavenging test was conducted using 2,2, diphenyl-1-picryl hydrazyl (DPPH) reagent while total phenolic contents (TPC) were measured by Folin–Ciocalteau reagent. Maximum shoot proliferation of 11.42 ± 2.26 cm was obtained from MS medium supplemented with 0.5 mg/L BAP + 0.1 mg/L NAA. All extracts displayed moderate antimicrobial potential against the tested pathogens in the range of 9.0-13.1 mm ZI, with highest MIC of 0.78 mg/mL and 1.56 mg/mL fromMPE and WPE, respectively.The IC50 values of 4.49 and 5.10 μg/mL was obtained in WPE and MPE. The MPE had TPC of 6.66 ± 0.83 mg GAE/g compared to the WPE with TPC of 5.43 ± 1.31 mg GAE/g. The crude methanol extracts of wild and micropropagated plants of V. Cinerea showed high amounts of phenolic compounds, which could present them as candidates for future search for antimicrobial and antioxidant agents for different ailments.Keywords: Micropropagation, Antioxidant, DPPH, Phenolic Compound, Vernonia cinerea

Through different extraction techniques, the potential of Centella asiatica as a natural source of antioxidant was investigated. The C. asiatica aqueous extracts were obtained via infusion, decoction and ultrasonic-assisted extraction (UAE) techniques. The effects of different extraction techniques were studied on the extraction yield, total phenolic contents and antioxidant activity. The total phenolic contents of the extracts and antioxidant activity were examined using the Folin-Ciocalteu’s reagent and 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging activity assay, respectively. Results indicated that the UAE exhibited the highest extraction yield, highest total phenolic contents, as well as highest antioxidant activity. The yield of the extracts increased in the order of infusion < decoction < UAE which were 18.2 %, 23.6% and 25.4 %, respectively. All extraction techniques had a significant effect (p <0.05) on the total phenolic contents and antioxidant activity of C. asiatica extracts. The total phenolic contents was ranged from 3.42 ± 0.030 to 8.32 ± 0.105 mg GAE/g dry extract while the antioxidant activity was in the range of 75 to 86 %. This study confirms that C. asiatica has the potential to be a good resource for the future development of natural antioxidant. In addition, extraction via UAE can be an ideal technique to obtain phytochemical-rich extracts from medicinal plants.

A total of 9 plant extracts were tested, using two different kinds of extracting methods to evaluate the antioxidant and antimicrobial activities fromPilea microphylla(Urticaceae family) and including toxicity test. Antioxidant activity were tested by using DPPH free radical scavenging, also total phenolic contents and total flavonoid contents were determined. Toxicity assay carried out by using brine shrimps. Methanol extract of method I (ME I) showed the highest antioxidant activity at69.51±1.03. Chloroform extract of method I (CE I) showed the highest total phenolic contents at72.10±0.71and chloroform extract of method II (CE II) showed the highest total flavonoid contents at60.14±0.33. The antimicrobial activity ofPilea microphyllaextract was tested in vitro by using disc diffusion method and minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC). ThePilea microphyllaextract showed antibacterial activity against some Gram negative and positive bacteria. The extracts did not exhibit antifungal and antiyeast activity. The hexane extract of method I (HE I) was not toxic against brine shrimp (LC50 value was 3880 μg/ml). Therefore, the extracts could be suitable as antimicrobial and antioxidative agents in food industry.
