Cassia occidentalis (C. occidentalis) is a medicinal plant traditionally used in rural areas of Burkina Faso for the treatment of diabetes. The objective of this work is to evaluate the antioxidant and antidiabetic properties of the fractions of this plant. The antidiabetic activity was investigated by following the inhibitory effect of the different fractions of plant extract on α-glucosidase. The antioxidant activities were performed using 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH) and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) methods. TLC analysis revealed the presence of quercetin in the ethyl acetate fractions of stems and leaves of C. occidentalis. Ethyl acetate fractions of stems and leaves of C. occidentalis demonstrated significant antidiabetic properties with IC50 values ca. 0.274 ± 0.003 and 0.538 ± 0.011 mg/mL respectively compared to the reference acarbose with IC50 ca. 0.215 ± 0.004 mg/mL. The same fractions exhibited respectively the highest FRAP values close to 167.055 ± 0.008 and 128.490 ± 5.227 μg ET/mg and DPPH values of 114.062 ± 2.698 and 82.962 ± 3.189 μg ET/mg. Phytochemical screening revealed the presence of flavonoids, tannins and quinones. These results show that C. occidentalis possess molecules with interesting antidiabetic properties and demonstrate its use in the treatment of diabetes.","PeriodicalId":14413,"journal":{"name":"International Research Journal Of Pharmacy","volume":"68 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136083587","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The food crops growing on such soils may selectively bio-accumulate these metals, which usually depend on the concerned plant’s bio- accumulation potential for concerned metal and characteristics of the soil. This study was aimed to evaluate the bio-accumulation of Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni and Pb in the root, stem and leaves of the wild plant Lantana camara L., Verbenaceae, grown on waste dump site, by analyzing levels of studied metals in soil and plant parts. The bio-concentration factors (BCFs) and translocation factors (TFs) for metals under study were also evaluated, to find out the suitability of Lantana plant for phytoextration of the tested metals. The observed order of metal concentrations in soil samples was Pb (8.91± 0.54) > Cr (6.42 ±0.43) >Cu (1.91± 0.17) > Ni (1.42± 0.13) > Cd (0.86± 0.09, mg/Kg).
