Antioxidant property for lipophilic extract of Strobilanthes kunthiana flowers
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Research in Pharmacy and Biotechnology - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Strobilanthes kunthiana flowers are found on the hill slopes of the Western Ghats at an altitude of 6000 to 7000 feet. It is a bright blue bell shaped flower. The uniqueness of the flower is that it blooms once in 12 years. S. kunthiana flower belong to family Acanthaceae. The main objective of our research work is to isolate the phytochemical constituents from the flower by subjecting successive extraction, to perform the phytochemical screening of the extract and to evaluate its antioxidant activities. The antioxidant property was evaluated for all extract by H2O2 and D.P.P.H. method. Our experimental results revealed ethyl acetate extractive IC50 value was about 34.4 μg/mL and 94.6 µg/ml. All the extracts showed positive reaction for phytosterols. The ethyl acetate extract, n-Butanol extract exhibit promising significant antioxidant activity and the n-hexane extract was devoid of any activity.
