The objective of this study is to analyze the antioxidant activities, total phenolics and flavonoids of the &lt;em&gt;P. americana &lt;/em&gt;seed extract.&lt;em&gt; P. americana&lt;/em&gt; seed extraction was obtained through maceration and reflux using a 70% ethanol solvent. The results obtained were compared in terms of yield productivity, with yields of 43.07 (%) and 39.58 (%) respectively. Phytochemical compounds extracted from &lt;em&gt;P. americana&lt;/em&gt; seeds were tested using the phytochemical screening method, the antioxidant activity assay, the total phenolic analysis, and the total flavonoid analysis. The phytochemical screening showed that &lt;em&gt;P. americana&lt;/em&gt; seeds contain flavonoids, saponins, phenols, tannins, alkaloids, and quinones. The antioxidant activity of the 70% ethanol extract of &lt;em&gt;P. americana &lt;/em&gt;seeds obtained by maceration and reflux method was 77.298 g/mL and 98.626 g/mL, respectively, meanwhile the IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; values of vitamin C were 12.883 g/mL. The 70% ethanol extract of &lt;em&gt;P. americana &lt;/em&gt;seeds obtained by maceration and reflux method had total phenolic content of 276.96 mgGAE/g and 294.96 mgGAE/g, and total flavonoid content of 1.73 mgQE/g and 12.70 mgQE/g respectively. This simply implies that the 70% ethanolic extracts from &lt;em&gt;P. americana&lt;/em&gt; seeds obtained through maceration and reflux have strong antioxidant activity.&lt;/p&gt;

Extraction was performed by maceration method with ethanol 96% as a solvent. Thin layer chromatography (TLC), high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and spectrophotometric UV-Vis were used to determine the phytochemical contents. The antihyperuricemic activity was evaluated by using in vivo model of rat induced by potassium oxonate. The xanthin oxidase inhibitory activity was also determined by spectroscopic method by measuring the catalytic rate of xanthin oxidase enzyme. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; Phytochemical analysis confirmed the presence of alkaloids, terpenoids, flavonoids, phenolics, saponin and tannin. Quantitative determination of total flavonoids and quercetin concentration found the values of 82.17 ± 0.684 mg QE/g and 0.5131 ± 0.0022 mg/g dried extract, respectively. Ethanolic extract of &lt;em&gt;Moringa oleifera&lt;/em&gt; seed have potential antihyperuricemic activity in which it can significantly reduce the serum uric acid level on potassium oxonate-induced hyperuricemic rat model with the effective dose of 125 mg/ kg BW. Xanthin oxidase inhibitory activity showed the moderate activity with IC&lt;sub&gt;50 &lt;/sub&gt;of 88.39 μg/ml. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; This study confirmed the potential of&lt;em&gt; Moringa oleifera&lt;/em&gt; seed ethanolic extract, growing in Sigi, Central Sulawesi to be developed as herbal medicinal source for antihyperuricemic drug.&lt;/p&gt;

Some pilot anti-smoking products with nicotine replacement, such as lozenges or gum, have been presented, but with some adverse effects. Thus, application of VC as a new-anti-smoking product is very challenging. &lt;strong&gt;Objectives: &lt;/strong&gt;The aims of this study were to compare the active compounds; total phenolic compounds, total flavonoids and nicotine, and study antioxidant activity on scavenging 2,2'-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) (ABTS) and 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrzayl (DPPH) radicals of extracts prepared by spray drying (SD) and freeze drying (FD) techniques for pilot hard candy. &lt;strong&gt;Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;Raw VC materials of mixed parts, i.e., the stem, flowers and leaves, were made to form extracts by FD and SD techniques. Then, extract from the SD technique was manufactured industrially into hard candy containing glucose syrup and refined glucose. Total phenolic compounds, total flavonoids, nicotine, scavenging activity of extracts, VC hard candy and placebo candy were evaluated by folin-ciocalteau reagent, aluminum chloride colorimetric assay, high-performance liquid chromatography, ABTS cation decolorization and DPPH protocols.&lt;strong&gt; Results: &lt;/strong&gt;Total phenolic compounds were significantly different between extracts, but total flavonoids and nicotine were slightly higher in SD extract. Antioxidant activity of both extracts on ABTS radicals was not significantly different, but the half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt;) on DPPH radicals was significantly higher in SD extract when compared to the FD extract. Finally, total phenolic compounds, total flavonoids and nicotine, as well as scavenging activity could be detected in hard candy. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;VC can be used as an anti-smoking aid with nicotine replacement and anti-oxidant compounds in pilot hard candy.&lt;/p&gt;

This study quantitatively estimated the total phenolic (TPC), total flavonoid (TFC) and total proautocyanidin (TPA) contents of extract and fractions of&lt;em&gt; B. pinnatum&lt;/em&gt; and correlated them with its antioxidant and anticholinesterase activities. Methanolic extract of the dried leaves was partitioned into n-hexane, ethyl acetate and aqueous fractions. Total phenolic, flavonoids and proanthocyanidins content were estimated as gallic acid or quercetin equivalents. DPPH and nitric oxide scavenging activity as well as ferric reducing power assays were used to evaluate antioxidant activity, using 2,6-di-tert-butyl- 4-methylphenol (DDM) and ascorbic acid as standards.&lt;em&gt; In vitro &lt;/em&gt;anticholinesterase activity was evaluated by Ellmann’s colorimetry assay with phsiostigmine (serine) and donepezil as positive control. The crude methanol extract had the highest phenolic, flavonoid and tannin content. The ethyl acetate fraction had the highest DPPH radical scavenging effect (IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; 0.004 mg/ml) while the aqueous fraction had the highest NO scavenging and ferric reducing effects with values of IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; 0.012 mg/ml and 0.007 mg/ml respectively. The ethyl acetate fraction had the best cholinesterase inhibitory effect (IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; 0.951 μg/ml AChE; 3.546 μg/ml BuChE). DPPH radical scavenging effect correlated strongly with total phenolic, flavonoids and proautocyanidins (r&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; 0.896, 0.651 and 0.619 respectively) while ferric reducing power showed weak correlation and NO scavenging as well as AChE inhibition had no correlation. The study shows DPPH radical scavenging could be due to the phenolic content while other class of compounds are responsible for the cholinesterase inhibition.&lt;/p&gt;

The whole fruit and stem bark extracts were partitioned into n-hexane, dichloromethane, ethyl acetate and aqueous fractions. The n-hexane fraction of the stem bark and whole fruit were analyzed on GC-MS. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; The stem bark had the highest phenolic content of 29.81&amp;plusmn; 1.18 GAE mg/g. Similarly, free radical scavenging activities assay showed the stem bark to be most active with IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; of 6.20 &amp;plusmn; 1.51&amp;mu;g/ml, better than the standard, ascorbic acid with IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; of 11.51 &amp;plusmn; 0.3&amp;mu;g/ml. The n-hexane partitioned fractions of the fruit and stem bark on GC-MS analysis showed 9 prominent compounds including 9,17-Octadecadienal (5.43%), 3-((4Z,7Z)-Heptadeca-4,7-dien-1-yl) phenol(12%), (Z)-3-(Heptadec-10-en-1-yl) phenol (11.76%), n-Hexadecanoic acid (7.07%) and 13 compounds including 9,17-Octadecadienal (20.51%),trans-13-Octadecenoic acid (12.61%), Pentadecanoic acid (8.3%), n-Hexadecanoic acid(15.24%). &lt;strong&gt;Conclusions:&lt;/strong&gt; This study provides justification for some of the folkloric use of &lt;em&gt;Spondias purpurea.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original Article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">941</style></section><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Taiwo Olayemi Elufioye*, Tomayo Ireti Berida&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Kunth has been reported to have some biological activities such as antihypertensive and antioxidants. Herbal materials susceptible to contamination during processing and storage which can shortens their shelf life. Gamma-irradiation has been used as a method for preservation. &lt;strong&gt;Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; This research aimed to analyze the effect of gamma-irradiation on inhibition activity of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE), antioxidant activity, total phenol content, total flavonoid, and thin layer chromatography profiles of &lt;em&gt;P. pellucida&lt;/em&gt; L. Herbs extract. The extract was irradiated with 60Co gamma rays at 2.5; 5; 7.5; dan 10 kGy. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; Irradiation up to 10 kGy did not change ACE inhibitory activity and TLC profile. No significant differences were noted in the inhibition activity of ACE and the type of chromatogram profiles between non-irradiated extract and irradiated extracts up to a dose of 10 kGy while total flavonoids showed a significant decrease. In addition, total phenolic content and antioxidant activity showed a significant increase of extracts were irradiated up to 5 kGy and decrease at dose 7,5 kGy and 10 kGy. Gamma-irradiation up to 10 kGy didn&amp;rsquo;t affect the activity of ACEinhibitor &lt;em&gt;in-vitro&lt;/em&gt; while significant difference (P &amp;lt;0.05) of antioxidant activity, total flavonoids and phenolic content of the extract &lt;em&gt;P.

Blood samples were analyzed for glucose levels at 0, 30&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt;, 60&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt;, and 120&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; min after respective treatments and the peak blood glucose (PBG) levels and area under the curves (AUC) were determined. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; Results demonstrated that 500 mg, 1000 mg/kg of HMESM reduced and prolonged the PBG and decreased AUC simultaneously after starch and sucrose loading in normal and diabetic rats. Similarly acarbose also reduce the sucrose and starch induced blood glucose excursion, whereas it had no peak blood glucose suppressive effect after exogenous glucose load in both normal and diabetic rats. On the other hand, phytochemical study of the said extract revealed that it is rich in phenolic compounds (46.25 mg of gallic acid equivalent/g of extract) and flavonoids (231.72 mg of quercetin equivalent/g of the extract), which may may responsible for pharmacological activities. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;The HMESM may have PBG suppressive effect in post-carbohydrate challenged state as evidenced by reduced PBG and AUC. This suggest that HMESM may be used effectively as a safer alternative to control postprandial hyperglycemia especially in pre-diabetic and diabetic patients.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Key words:&lt;/strong&gt; Streptozotocin,∝-glucosidase, Postprandial hyperglycemia, Total flavono.&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><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tushar Kanti Bera,&lt;sup&gt;1,2&lt;/sup&gt; Kausik Chatterjee&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt; and Debidas Ghosh&lt;sup&gt;1,*&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 Bio-Medical Laboratory Science and Management, Vidyasagar University, Midnapur-721 102, West Bengal, India&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;Department of Pharmaceutical Division, Southern Health Improvement Samity (SHIS), South 24 Paraganas, Bhangar-743 502, West Bengal, India.&lt;/p&gt;</style></auth-address></record></records></xml>
