The aim of this study was to promote I. cylindrica leaves from Kertajati Subdistrict in Majalengka Regency in their use as a medicinal plant based on the four parameters, namely the content of total phenolic content, total flavonoid content, total tannin content, and antioxidant activity. The four parameters that become the basis for the benefits of the leaves were compared with the four parameters of the roots. &lt;strong&gt;Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; Quantification of total phenolic content, total flavonoid content, total tannin content, and antioxidant activity used Folin-Ciocalteu, aluminium chloride, Fe(III) chloride and 1.10-Phenanthroline, and 1,1-diphenyl-2-pikrilhidrazil (DPPH) methods, respectively. All methods used visible spectrophotometric method. &lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;The percentages of total phenolic content, total flavonoid content, total tannin content, and IC50 of antioxidant activity of I. cylindrica leaves extract were 9% (GAE), 2.1% (QE), 5.6% (TAE), and 100.5 ppm, respectively. Then, the percentages of I. cylindrica roots extract showed the percentages of total phenolic content, total flavonoid content, total tannin content, and IC50 of antioxidant activity were 5.8% (GAE), 0.64% (QE), 3% (TAE), and 241 ppm, respectively.&lt;strong&gt; Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; The extract of I. cylindrica leaves contained the phenolic compound, namely flavonoids, tannins and other phenolic compounds, and had antioxidant activity. All parameters have been reported to have positive effect on health. Therefore, the leaves of I. cylindrica from Kertajati Subdistrict are discovered to have effects on health which are suitable to be promoted as a medicinal plant.&lt;/p&gt;

However, research on the biological activities of PE is limited. &lt;strong&gt;Objective:&lt;/strong&gt; This study aimed to measure the total phenolic and flavonoid contents and to test the anti-tyrosinase and antioxidant activities of PE extracts. The Folin-Ciocalteu colorimetric, the Aluminium chloride colorimetric, the DPPH scavenging, and the Dopachrome assays were used for the experiments.&lt;strong&gt; Results: &lt;/strong&gt;The dichloromethane extract had the highest anti-tyrosinase activity (IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt;= 2.08 ± 0.40 mg/mL), total flavonoid content (9.93 ± 0.02 mg QE/g extract), and antioxidant activity (IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt;= 40 ± 0.02 μg/mL). The largest total phenolic concentration was found in the 80% ethanol extract, albeit (11.97 ± 0.55 mg GAE/g extract). &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; Based on its remarkable activities, the dichloromethane extract is recommended for future development in skinlightening products. The study's findings conclude that PE extracts may be used as an alternate source of antioxidants and anti-tyrosinase agents&lt;/p&gt;

Therefore, the inhibition of elastase could reduce the wrinkles formation in the skin. Rumput teki (&lt;em&gt;Cyperus rotundus &lt;/em&gt;L.) is used empirically to increase the skin elasticity but the scientific justification was still limited. This study aimed to determine the activity of&lt;em&gt; Cyperus rotundus &lt;/em&gt;L (CyR) in inhibiting the elastase activity. &lt;strong&gt;Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; Extraction of CyR was performed by maceration method using 70% ethanol. The inhibition percentage and IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; were determined by the colorimetric method using porcine pancreatic elastase (PPE) and N-Succ-(Ala)3-p- nitroanilide (SANA) as substrate. Phytochemical screening, determination of Total Phenolic content (TPC), and Total Flavonoid Content (TFC) were also performed to calculate the level of phenolic and flavonoid content in the sample.&lt;strong&gt; Results: &lt;/strong&gt;The extract of CyR rhizomes contained TPC and TFC of 62.72 mgGAE/g and 10.72 mgEQ/g extract respectively and showed an inhibitory activity on elastase with IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; of 178.72 μg/mL, smaller than IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; of quercetin as reference drug (200.00 μg/mL). &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; This finding suggested that extract of CyR rhizomes could be used as elastase inhibitor but the further research still needs to be developed.&lt;/p&gt;

In this study, free radical scavenging activity of aqueous and methanol extracts of fruits, shoots and roots of dill and parsley was examined using EPR technique, in addition to the determination of their contents of total polyphenols (TPC) and flavonoids (TFC). &lt;strong&gt;Method:&lt;/strong&gt; The hydroxyl anion scavenging activity (HASA) of the tested extracts was determined using EPR spin trapping technique and hypoxanthine/xanthine oxidase system generating (O&lt;strong&gt;•-&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;). The TPC and TFC were determined using Folin-Ciocalteu and aluminum chloride colorimetric assays.&lt;strong&gt; Results:&lt;/strong&gt; Both aqueous shoot of dill (ADSh) and methanol root of parsley (MPR) demonstrated the strongest inhibition of HASA. On the contrary, the aqueous extract of dill fruit at a concentration of 0.5 mg/ml was found to be pro-oxidant (49.43 %), but at 10 mg/ml demonstrated potent inhibition of HASA (98.12 %). TPC was found to be the highest in the methanol extract of parsley fruit (MPF, 88.62 ± 0.6 mg GAE/g) and the lowest in MPR (4.34 ± 0.050 mg GAE/g). On the other hand, TFC was the highest in MPF (584.29 ± 2.10 mg GAE/g) and the lowest in the methanol extract of dill fruit (MDF, 1.28 ± 0.02 mg rutin/g). &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;In this study, EPR provided a direct insight that all tested apiaceous plants extracts showed effective HASA except two extracts that proved to be pro-oxidant at 0.5 mg/mL This study confirmed that there is no correlation between antioxidant potential and TPC and TFC.&lt;/p&gt;

A new species that is endemic to Thailand. &lt;strong&gt;Aims:&lt;/strong&gt; Leaves of &lt;em&gt;B. nakhonphanomensis&lt;/em&gt; were extracted and the extract was used in gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis to evaluate the total phenols, total flavonoids and antioxidant activity. &lt;strong&gt;Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; The extract of &lt;em&gt;B. nakhonphanomensis&lt;/em&gt; was analyzed by GC-MS. Quantitative analysis for total phenols was done by the Folin-Ciocatteu method and for total flavonoids by the aluminium chloride method. The antioxidant activity of the ethanolic extract was evaluated by the DPPH method. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; GC-MS analysis revealed the presence of 19 phytochemical constituents. These compounds were identified by comparing their retention times and peak areas with those from the literature and by interpretation of the mass spectra. The major chemical constituents were inositol (48.55 %), alpha-tocopherol (12.21 %) and phenol (6.61 %). Total phenolic content was 48.69&amp;plusmn;0.56 mg/100 of Gallic acid equivalent (GE).

Fruit was subjected to various pharmacognostical investigations, Extraction procedures, and preliminary phytochemical screening, according to WHO guidelines. Ethanolic extract was standardized to total phenolic and flavonoid content, followed by phytochemical quantification of &lt;em&gt;P. pashia&lt;/em&gt; extract using lupeol as a chemical marker by HPLC method. &lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;In the present study, microscopy of the fruit showed typical characteristics of berry, having thick fleshy pericarp differentiated into thin epicarp and thick mesocarp having wide radiating carpel chambers with one or two seeds attached in axile placentum. Further, physicochemical evaluation was done like, loss on drying, total ash value, acid insoluble ash value, water soluble ash value, fluorescence analysis etc. Heavy metal and pesticide residue analysis was also performed. Furthermore, ethanolic extract of &lt;em&gt;Pyrus pashia&lt;/em&gt; (EPP) obtained from cold maceration and phytochemical screening of different fractions obtained by liquid partitioning revealed the presence of various secondary metabolites such as glycosides, steroids, triterpenoids, phenols flavonoids etc. Moreover, the total phenolic content and total analysis revealed that fruits are rich source of phenols and flavonoid. The HPLC chromatogram suggested that EPP contained 4.24% w/w of lupeol. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; Pharmacognostical and phytochemical investigation will ensure quality and safety of this medicinal plant, furthermore HPLC quantification will aid in authentication and development of monograph.&lt;/p&gt;

The present study suggests that all the extracts might act as radical scavengers to certain extent possibly due to presence of polyphenolic compounds. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;M. oleifera&lt;/em&gt; exhibits strong antioxidant activity and could serve as prospective source of natural antioxidants to food and health industries.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Key words:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp; Antioxidant activity, total phenolic content, total flavonoid content, sequential extract, oxidation.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original Article</style></work-type><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Swati Vyas, Sumita Kachhwaha and S.L.Kothari</style></custom1><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">44</style></section><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Swati Vyas&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;, Sumita Kachhwaha&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt; and S.L.Kothari&lt;sup&gt;1,2&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;sup&gt;*&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;Department of Botany, University of Rajasthan, Jaipur, Rajasthan, India&amp;ndash;302004&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;Institute of Biotechnology, Amity University, Rajasthan, Jaipur, Rajasthan, India-302019&lt;/p&gt;</style></auth-address></record></records></xml>
