Abstract

Capparis spinosa and Dodonaea viscose are commonly known plants in South of Saudi Arabia (Jabal Shuda in Albahah area). They are extremely valued medicinal plants. The variety of active chemicals like flavonoids, tannin and other antioxidants which are responsible of therapeutic properties in these plants, which are vary in their constituents in all plant parts. In this study, the medicinal plants Capparis spinosa and Dodonaea viscose were collected from Jabal Shuda in Albaha Area of Saudi Arabia. Total phenolic content and the effectiveness of the leaves extracts against the free radical scavenging DPPH were carried out. Four different solvents (ethanol, petroleum ether, chloroform, ethyl acetate, and n-butanol) were studied and their results were compared. Total phenolic contents expressed as gallic acid equivalent, whereas scavenging capacity for DPPH radical was measured as IC50 values. The elevated total phenolic content (351.59 ± 0.06 mg/g GAE) and highest value of antioxidant activity (76.58 ± 0.024 % lower value of IC50, 0.0358 ± 0.09 mg/mL) were observed in ethyl acetate extract of D. viscose leaves. The n-butanol extract of C. spinosa leaves exhibited total phenolic content (128.32 ± 0.4 mg GAE/g) which was lower than that shown by n-butanol leaves extract of D. viscose (231.98 ± 0.02 mg GAE/g). Leaves extracts of Capparis spinosa and Dodonaea viscose that grow wildly in Jabal Shuda in Albahah area of Southern Saudi Arabia are rich in phenolic compounds which exhibited high antioxidant activity, but Dodonaea viscose was more valued than Capparis spinosa in these compounds.
