PRELIMINARY PHYTOCHEMICAL ANALYSIS AND ANTIOXIDANT PROPERTY OF THE FERN, CHRISTELLA DENTATA (FORSSK.) BROWNSEY & JERMY
Journal Title: World Journal of Pharmaceutical and life sciences - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Aqueous and ethanolic extracts of leaves, petiole and rhizome of Christella dentata were subjected to qualitative screening for phytochemicals. Results revealed the presence of various metabolites like ketose, carbohydrate, protein, cardiac glycosides, steroids, flavonoids, phenols, saponin, terpenoids, alkaloids, tannin, coumarin, acids and quinone in different plant parts. Occurrence of different secondary metabolites and their concentration was much lesser in the leaves. Rhizome revealed the presence of most of the metabolites analysed and at higher concentrations. DPPH radical scavenging test was used for the evaluation of antioxidant property and significantly higher levels of free radical scavenging activity with IC 50 value of 26μg/ml was shown by the alcoholic extract of rhizome which was higher than that of ascorbic acid. Antioxidant activity exhibited by the leaf extract was highly negligible.
