Abstract
AbstractThe research aimed to identify the bioactive compounds present in Syzygium cumini seeds by GC-MS and to determine the antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial activities of seed extract. Phytochemical analysis revealed that phenols and flavonoids were more abundant in comparison to other compounds. The results of antioxidant activity as measured by DPPH assay and anti-inflammatory activity as measured by albumin denaturation assay revealed that the acetone extract exhibited significant antioxidant (inhibition % - 93.08 ± 0.43% and IC50 - 22.10 µg/mL) and anti-inflammatory activity (inhibition % 80.04 ± 0.52% and IC50 - 43.67 µg/mL). The extracts exhibited remarkable antibacterial activity with the zone of inhibition varying from 10.67 ± 0.75 to 16.67 ± 1.07 mm among which Staphylococcus aureus was more susceptible followed by Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus cereus, Enterococcus faecalis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Proteus vulgaris, Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae. GS-MS profiling revealed about 14 major bioactive compounds. S. cumini seed could be further utilized in pharmaceutical and food industries as a potent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial agent.Keywords: Anti-inflammatoryAntibacterialAntioxidantGC-MSPhytochemicalsSyzygium cuminiDisclaimerAs a service to authors and researchers we are providing this version of an accepted manuscript (AM).

期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
