Abstract
ABSTRACT Aerial parts of Polystichum squarrosum (Dryopteridaceae) collected from Kumaun Himalaya, India were assessed for antioxidant potential using the methanolic extract in vitro for DPPH free radical scavenging and ferric-reducing antioxidant assays. The DPPH assay exhibited potent free radical scavenging capacity (IC50, 6.03 ± 1.41 µg mL−1), as well as ferric-reducing antioxidant activity (886.2 mg AAE gm−1 dry extract). In the antibacterial activity tests, the methanolic extract inhibited the growth of Klebsiella pneumoniae (MIC 14 ± 0.57 mm) and Agrobacterium tumefaciens (MIC 12 ± 0.7 mm). Totally, 65 phytochemical compounds were identified using gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Total phenolics (913.33 ± 39.23 mg GAE g−1 dry extract) and total flavonoid contents (30.0 ± 2.64 mg QE g−1 dry extract) were estimated qualitatively. These results demonstrated antioxidant and antimicrobial activities due to the presence of bioactive phytochemicals.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Herbs, Spices & Medicinal Plants is an essential reference filled with recent research and other valuable information associated with herbs, spices, and medicinal plants. The Journal serves as a focus point through which investigators and others may publish material of importance to the production, marketing, and utilization of these plants and associated extracts. The journal covers the following topics: growth, development, horticulture, ecology, physiology, genetics, chemistry, and economics. Original articles, review articles, and book reviews provide information of interest to an international audience of researchers, teachers, technicians, and managers involved with production and/or marketing of herbs, spices, and medicinal plants. Managers of food companies, food processing facilities, medical research laboratories, government agencies, and others interested in new chemicals, food additives, international trade, patents, and other items can easily review new findings. The Journal of Herbs, Spices & Medicinal Plants is a forum in which recent research and other information associated with herbs, spices, and medicinal plants is shared. The Journal represents a centralized database accessible by investigators within the international community that work with or have an interest in herbs, spices, and medicinal plants.
