The purpose of this study was to prepare three sub-fractions from Pituranthos scoparius roots (PSR), characterize their phytochemicals contents and to investigate their free radical scavenging activity by 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) and hydroxyl scavenging activities. Tannins, flavonoids, steroids, and other bioactive compounds were found in the different sub-fractions. The Ethyle acetate extract (EAE) and chloroform extract (ChE) exhibited the highest antioxidant activity using ABTS (17.8 ± 0.87 µg/mL and 18.15 ± 0.68 µg/mL), respectively. Whereas, Crude extract (CrE) have been presented strong hydroxyl scavenging activity (14.9 ± 0.8 µg/mL). This study indicates that PSR extracts has potent free radical scavenging, and may prove to be of potential health benefit as well as additional resources for natural antioxidants. Keywords: Medicinal plant; phytochemical screening; sub-fractions, free radical scavenging.

Dpph Radical Scavenging

Two novel antioxidants, obtusilactone A (1) and (-)-sesamin (2) have been identified in Cinnamomum kotoense Kanehira. Both showed effective 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity compared with vitamin C, and reducing power compared with BHA. These results suggest that these constituents of C. kotoense act as natural antioxidants and play a potential role in cancer prevention.

Metal Concentrations

The influence of Cu2+, Fe2+ on the Maillard reaction were studied by heating L-ascorbic(ASA) and glycine (Gly) solutions adjusted to pH 5 at 120±2°C for 140 min in an oil bath. The presence of metals affected the intensity of browning and intermediate products, as monitored by absorbance at 420 nm and absorbance at 294 nm, sharply increased with the increase of metal concentrations applied (0.000M, 0.005M, 0.010M, 0.015M, 0.020M). Thereafter, slight increases were observed up to 0.020M. Antioxidative activity of all MRPs derived from ASA-Gly model systems sharply increased at 0.015M (P < 0.05) and slightly changes in activity were found with increasing metal concentrations up to 0.020M. Moreover, radical-scavenging activity correlated well with browning intensity and absorbance at 294 nm.
