Influence of microwave assisted extraction on antioxidant and antiplasmodial activities of Trichilia roka extracts
Journal Title: The Journal of Phytopharmacology - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 5
Abstract
Antiplasmodial and antioxidant activities of extracts derived from Trichilia roka (Chiov) (Meliaceae) root bark were determined respectively in vitro and using two methods as well as 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radicalscavenging and β-carotene-linoleate model systems. The microwave assisted extraction extract was more effective concern antioxydant activity than the antiplasmodial activity compare to conventional mechanical agitation extraction method. Extracts obtained by microwave assisted extraction showed a high total polyphenol content of 126766 μg Equivalent of Gallic acid /g Dry Mater and a total flavonoid content of 789.22 μg Equivalent of Quercetin/g dry mater but a low antiplasmodial activity with and inhibition concentration of 48.386 μg /mL and 23.983 μg/mL for mechanical agitation extract. The evaluation of the antioxidant properties of the two extracts showed that those obtained by microwave assisted extraction shown in the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl assay and in the β-carotene bleaching test, the highest antioxidant activity respectively, with an antioxidant activity of 82.12% and with a radical-scavenging activity with inhibition percentage of 88.78%..
