Abstract
Vicia faba L. has a major role in the traditional diet and medicinal system of different countries. V. faba is a natural source of the precursor of dopamine (Levodopa) which is used treatment of Parkinson’s disease. The objective of the study is to investigate the in vitro antioxidant capacity, Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry and docking of V. faba against Parkinson’s disease. The values indicated that acetone and aqueous extract exhibited a higher value of total phenolic and flavonoid contents respectively. The results of the 2, 2- diphenyl-1- picrylhydrazyl free radical scavenging assay and ferric reducing antioxidant power assay displayed that aqueous extract had better radical scavenging activity. In the 2,2-azinobis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonate) radical scavenging assay, ethanolic extract showed a lower Inhibitory Concentration50 value. In silico analysis indicated that the phyto-compounds present in V. faba has a higher binding affinity to the dopamine1 receptor. The results suggested that V. faba has good antioxidant properties and can be used as a dopamine agonist for the dopamine1 receptor which may be useful in combating Parkinson’s disease.
期刊介绍:
Studies on Ethno-Medicine is a peer reviewed, internationally circulated journal. It publishes reports of original research, theoretical articles, timely reviews, brief communications, book reviews and other publications in the interdisciplinary field of ethno-medicine. The journal serves as a forum for physical, social and life scientists as well as for health professionals. The transdisciplinary areas covered by this journal include, but are not limited to, Physical Sciences, Anthropology, Sociology, Geography, Life Sciences, Environmental Sciences, Botany, Agriculture, Home Science, Zoology, Genetics, Biology, Medical Sciences, Public Health, Demography and Epidemiology. The journal publishes basic, applied and methodologically oriented research from all such areas. The journal is committed to prompt review, and priority publication is given to manuscripts with novel or timely findings, and to manuscript of unusual interest. Further, the manuscripts are categorised under three types, namely - Regular articles, Short Communications and Reviews. The researchers are invited to submit original papers in English (papers published elsewhere or under consideration elsewhere shall not be considered).
