Abstract

This study aimed to determine the chemical and biological composition of Zygophyllum indicum (Burm.f.) Christenh. & Byng. Phenolic compounds were analysed via HPLC-PDA, essential oils/volatiles using GC-MS, and fatty acid profiling through GC-FID. Antioxidant activity was assessed using the DPPH scavenging assay, while antibacterial screening was performed by evaluating the inhibition capability of the extract against four organisms: Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Candida albicans. Six phenolic compounds were detected, i.e. vanillin being the dominant one. A total of 52 volatile compounds were identified in the plant's essential oil, and 13 fatty acids were detected via GC-FID, with unsaturated fatty acids present in higher concentrations. The ethanol extract exhibited considerable antioxidant activity. These findings highlight Z. indicum as a valuable natural source of nutritionally significant compounds and antioxidants. Additionally, the data provide useful insights for industries that utilise this medicinal plant as raw material for therapeutic formulations.

籼稻（Zygophyllum indicum, Burm.f.）化学生物学特性的综合研究Christenh。& Byng。

本研究旨在测定籼稻刺槐（Zygophyllum indicum, Burm.f.）的化学和生物组成。Christenh。& Byng。用HPLC-PDA分析酚类化合物，用GC-MS分析精油/挥发物，用GC-FID分析脂肪酸。通过DPPH清除实验评估抗氧化活性，通过评估提取物对四种生物的抑制能力进行抗菌筛选：金黄色葡萄球菌、大肠杆菌、铜绿假单胞菌和白色念珠菌。共检出6种酚类化合物，以香兰素为主。经气相色谱- fid分析，共鉴定出52种挥发性化合物，其中13种脂肪酸含量较高，不饱和脂肪酸含量较高。乙醇提取物具有较强的抗氧化活性。这些发现强调了稻谷是一种有价值的天然营养化合物和抗氧化剂的来源。此外，这些数据为利用这种药用植物作为治疗配方原料的行业提供了有用的见解。

期刊介绍： The aim of Natural Product Research is to publish important contributions in the field of natural product chemistry. The journal covers all aspects of research in the chemistry and biochemistry of naturally occurring compounds. The communications include coverage of work on natural substances of land and sea and of plants, microbes and animals. Discussions of structure elucidation, synthesis and experimental biosynthesis of natural products as well as developments of methods in these areas are welcomed in the journal. Finally, research papers in fields on the chemistry-biology boundary, eg. fermentation chemistry, plant tissue culture investigations etc., are accepted into the journal. Natural Product Research issues will be subtitled either ""Part A - Synthesis and Structure"" or ""Part B - Bioactive Natural Products"". for details on this , see the forthcoming articles section. All manuscript submissions are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor, and, if found suitable for further consideration, to peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees. All peer review is single blind and submission is online via ScholarOne Manuscripts.
