Artocarpus integrifolia L. F., economically an important medicinal plant because of its healing properties in treating multiple health disorders. The present study was intended to analyze anti-radical properties as well as phytochemical constituents of both stem and leaf extract of A. integrifolia. A. integrifolia (150 g) leaves were shade dried and extracted by double maceration technique via two polar solvent i.e. methanol and ethanol. Phytochemical screening and determination of phenolics and flavonoids was done by Folin–Ciocalteu reagent and aluminium chloride colorimetric methods. Radical scavenging activity of plant extracts were estimated by means of 2, 2-diphenyl-1- picrylhydrazyl assay. Total phenolic and flavonoid contents of both stem and leaf extract of A. integrifolia were assessed to determine the effect of Total phenolic content and Total flavonoid contents on the antioxidant activity of this plant. The result obtained from current study showed that both methanolic and ethanolic plant extracts showed presence of major classes of phytochemicals. Phenolic and flavonoids contents (1.39±0.00 & 0.93±0.05) were significantly higher in leaf extract as compared to stem using ethanol as a solvent. Both stem and leaf extract possessed significant scavenging potential in reference to used standard BHT and Vitamin E. Hence conclude that among the two parts tested A. integrifolia leaves contained maximum phytochemicals, antioxidant, phenolics and flavonoid compounds. |
