Keywords:
Meriandra bengalensis, Antioxidant activity, Flavonoid Content, Phenolic Content, TLCAbstract
The awareness of the natural products is increasing day by day mainly of its lesser cost and lesser side effects. Almost, 80% of the world population is depending upon herbal medicines nowadays. The use of plants as medicine is the oldest practice that has been used in all over countries from the ancient days. Based on those old practices, medicines of modern days are derived either directly or indirectly from the sources of natural products.
The below study evaluated the Antioxidant activity, Total Flavonoid Content, Total Phenolic Content, Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) in the leaf extract of Meriandra bengalensis.
It was noted that methanol has highest inhibition yield percentage of 18.4 % than ethyl acetate (11.8%) of the leaf extracts. It was noted that the total phenolic content value of the methanol is 96.95±0.78mg/GAE and that of ethyl acetate is 79.90±1.79mg/GAE. Also, it was noted that the total flavonoid content values of methanolic extract is 78.52±4.96mg/QE and that of ethyl acetate is 58.28±3.32mg/QE.
