Phytochemical analysis and evaluation of antioxidant activity of the leaves of Begonia picta smith
Keywords:
quantitative, phytochemical, leaves, begonia, antioxidantAbstract
Like most other plants begonia picta smith contains various secondary metabolites with great potentials. The aim of this paper is to evaluate the phytochemicals by using quantitative and qualitative analysis of Petroleum ether , Chloroform, Methanol extracts ,with the help of standard methods as well solvent residual analysis byGCHS The findings from quantification and phytochemical screening showed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, reducing sugars, Phenols, proteins, amino acids, saponins, tannins, terpenoids,Antioxidant activity was determined by 1, 1-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl (DPPH)scavenging method, nitric oxide scavenging method, reducing power assay method and Inhibitory concentrations (IC50) were calculated. the residual solvents present in the three herbal extract also in current specified limits. Evaluation of In Vitro Anti-Oxidant activity reveals that methanolic extract is most potent as compare to other extracts by taking Ascorbic acid as standard. This information clearly represent that the plant Begonia picta smith is the good source of dietary antioxidant.
