Objectives: The objectives of this research article are to elucidate the antioxidant activity of the sequentially extracted fractions using solvents with a varying range of polarity from the leaves of Costus pictus (Zingiberaceae). The antioxidant efficacy to combat the oxidative stress was evaluated based on their superoxide, hydrogen peroxide, and nitric oxide (NO) scavenging activity of the leaf extract.Methods: Extraction was performed by sequential extraction methods with low to high polar solvents. Using hexane as a low polar, dichloromethane as medium polar, and ethyl acetate and methanol as high polar, based on their individual boiling points extraction was carried out. The extracts were then evaporated using a rotary evaporator under vacuum and stored in the dry container. Then, antioxidant activity of each extract was evaluated for superoxide, hydrogen peroxide, and NO scavenging activity, ascorbic acid was used as a standard drug for the study of antioxidant activity. The output was statistically interpreted, and the most significant concentration of the best extract with good antioxidant activity was evaluated.Results: As the methanolic solvent is highly polar and able to retrieve the active lead components from the plant material, was very well correlated with the higher degree of free radical scavenging efficacy. It also exhibited the most and significant inhibition in superoxide radical scavenging, hydrogen peroxide scavenging, and NO scavenging which was about 86±1.23, 94±0.34, and 86±1.87 at 250 µg/ml of extract, respectively. The results from our experiments were in par with the positive control chosen.Conclusions: The above results help us to substantially conclude that bioactive components are extracted well in high polar solvents such as methanol, which mainly includes flavonoids and related polyphenols. These compounds present in C. pictus may be an active lead for potent antioxidant activities which would need further investigations in molecular level.Keywords: Costus pictus, Hexane, Dichloromethane, Ethyl acetate, Methanol, Ascorbic acid.

The presence of natural antioxidant in plants is well known. Plant phenolics constitute one of the major groups of components that act as antioxidant and free radical terminator. Hence, this study focused on investigating the antioxidant activity of Celery plant (Apium graveolens L). The fresh leaves were collected, crushed and extracted with ethanol and acetone by maceration. The radical scavenging properties of the extracts were determined by measuring changes in absorbance of DPPH radical at a wave lenght of 517 nm by UV and ascorbic acid is used as the standard. It showed that the crude ethanolic extract has higher antioxidant activity compared to ascorbic acid and acetone extract with less scavenging activity. The values were (IC50 114.6 µg/mL) for ascorbic acid, (IC50 112 µg/mL) for the crude ethanolic extract and (IC50172 µg/mL) for crude acetone extract. The result shows that Celery plant grown in Jos possess good antioxidant properties which may be linked to the presence of phenolics and flavonoids in the plant, which justifies its use as a medicinal plant. This can be further investigated for the isolation and identification of active compounds of medicinal utilities.

Background: This study is designed to discover a method for delivering an efficient potent pheophytin a (pheo-a) into more absorbed and small polymeric ethyl cellulose (EC) microparticles. Methods: Silica gel and Sephadex LH-20 columns were used to isolate pheo-a from the chloroform extract of the edible plant, Suaeda vermiculata. Pheo-a was incorporated into EC microparticles using emulsion-solvent techniques. The antioxidant activity of pheo-a microparticles was confirmed by the level of superoxide radical (SOD), nitric oxide (NO), and reducing power (RP) methods. Meanwhile, the cytotoxic effect of the product was investigated on MCF-7 cells using MTT assay. Results: Pheo-a was isolated from S. vermiculata in a 12% concentration of the total chloroform extract. The structures were confirmed by NMR and IR spectroscopic analysis. The formulated microparticles were uniform, completely dispersed in the aqueous media, compatible as ingredients, and had a mean diameter of 139 ± 1.56 µm as measured by a particle size analyzer. Pheo-a demonstrated a valuable antioxidant activity when compared with ascorbic acid. The IC50 values of pheo-a microparticles were 200.5 and 137.7 µg/mL for SOD, and NO respectively. The reducing power of pheo-a microparticles was more potent than ascorbic acid and had a 4.2 µg/mL for IC50 value. Pheo-a microparticles did not show notable cytotoxicity on the MCF-7 cell line (IC50 = 35.9 µg/mL) compared with doxorubicin (IC50 = 3.2 µg/mL). Conclusions: the results showed that water-soluble pheo-a microparticles were prepared with a valuable antioxidant activity in a wide range of concentrations with a noteworthy cytotoxic effect.
