Phytochemical Study, Antioxidant activity and Kinetic Behaviour of Flavonoids Fractions Isolated from Prunus persica L. Leaves
Asian Journal of Chemistry,
Vol. 29 No. 1 (2017): Vol 29 Issue 1
Abstract
The present study was conducted to evaluate the antioxidant activity of flavonoids extract from the leaves of Prunus persica L. The selective extraction of flavonoids gave yields of 0.71, 1.5 and 4.8 % for the fractions ethyl ether, ethyl acetate and n-butanol, respectively. The antioxidant activity was investigated with three different methods: Bioautographic HPTLC test, 2,20-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging method and ferric reducing ability of plasma (FRAP) assay. It has been found that flavonoids revealed the positive reaction (yellow spots) on the TLC plates sprayed with DPPH methanol solution. Besides, the DPPH method showed that the fractions of flavonoids (bunanol, ethyl acetate and diethyl ether) exhibited a potent scavenging activity with IC50 = 0.22, 0.27 and 0.76 mg/mL, respectively. Furthermore, our findings revealed that the extracts under study provided higher reducing power.
