Abstract EN
In the present study antioxidant activities by (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radical (DPPH), hydrogen peroxide, hydroxyl radical inhibition, hemolysis by hydrogen peroxide assay, reducing power and total antioxidant activities of polyphenolic extract of Ichnocarpus frutescens leaves were investigated.
The flavonoids and total polyphenolic contents of the extract were also determined using standard methods.
Phytochemical analyses revealed the presence of flavonoids, polyphenols, anthocyanins and simple phenolic acids.
The results of antioxidant activities of polyphenol extract obtained by different in vitro methods were varied depending on the method used.
Nevertheless, polyphenol extract showed significant inhibitory activities in all in vitro reactive oxygen species scavenging, might be attributed due to the high level of polyphenolic compound.
Also, these various antioxidant activities were compared to a-tocopherol and L-ascorbic acid as reference antioxidant compounds.
These findings provide evidence that the polyphenolic extract of I.
frutescens is a natural source of antioxidant against oxidative damage
