DPPH radical scavenging activity and contents of H2O2, malondialdehyde and proline in determining salinity tolerance in chickpea seedlings.

The involvement of 1, 1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity and contents of H2O2, malondialdehyde (MDA) and proline was investigated in determining salinity tolerance among seedlings of thirty chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) genotypes having different pedigrees. Chickpea genotypes, including cultivars and advanced lines were grown for 7 days under control and salt stress (50 mM NaCl) conditions. The genotypes showed differential response to salt stress in terms of growth, DPPH radical scavenging activity and contents of H2O2, MDA and proline in seedlings. On the basis of seedling growth, the genotypes having better performance under stress conditions had reduced levels of H2O2 and MDA contents, but increased levels of proline and DPPH radical scavenging activity. Stress tolerance index for these parameters was also determined. Agglomerative hierarchal clustering by Pearson correlation coefficient grouped the genotypes into two major clusters — MC I and MC II. MC II and A1-1 sub-cluster of MC-I comprised mainly of genotypes that showed higher stress resistance levels for the respective parameters in comparison to genotypes in other sub-clusters. Thus, it is possible to identify salt-tolerant genotypes on the basis of above parameters without a field trial.

In vitro antioxidant and antibacterial activities of two fresh water Cyanobacterial species, Oscillatoria agardhii and Anabaena sphaerica.

Cyanobacteria are potential sources of biologically active compounds with antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal, and anticancer activities. In the present investigation, the effect of different solvents, including methanol, acetone, and water on the total phenolic, flavonoid, antioxidant and antibacterial activities of Oscillatoria agardhii and Anabaena sphaerica extracts were evaluated. The results showed that solvents with different polarities have various effects on phenolic content and antioxidant activity. Among the tested solvents, methanolic extract of Oscillatoria agardhii showed the highest antioxidant activity as well as the highest phenolic content. Organic extracts (with methanol or acetone) of the tested species actively inhibited the growth of bacteria compared to aqueous extracts. The highest antibacterial activity was detected by acetone extract of Oscillatoria agardhii against Salmonella senftenberg. By GC-MS analysis some important heterocyclic compound were identified in both Oscillatoria agardhii and Anabaena sphaerica crude extracts. This appeared to be responsible for such excellent antioxidant and antibacterial activity together with other unidentified compounds. Further exploration of antibacterial potential of cyanobacteria can open new horizons.

ШИВҮҮРТ СЭРДЭГ( SAXIFRAGA SPINULOSA ADAMS)-Н ХАНДНЫ АНТИОКСИДАНТ ИДЭВХИЙН БОЛОН ФИТОХИМИЙН СУДАЛГААНЫ ҮР ДҮНГЭЭС / Монголын эм зүй, эм судлал

Introduction: Oxidative stress occurs when the production of harmful molecules called free radicals are beyond the protective capability of the antioxidant defenses. Free radicals are known to cause damage to lipids, proteins, enzymes and nucleic acids, they are leading to cell or tissue injury. Therefore, there is an increasing interest in searching antioxidants from natural origin to prevent human body from oxidative stress produced by free radicals. In this research, 52 extractions of Mongolian medicinal plants were tested for their DPPH radical scavenging activity. Out of them, the aerial parts of Saxifraga spinulosa showed significant activity. Phytochemical and biological studies on this plant haven’t been determined previously. Methods: Antioxidant activity was evaluated by DPPH (2,2- diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) radical scavenging assay. The antioxidant activity of these extracts was compared with standard solution of rutin. The total phenolic contents, flavonoid, and flavonols were determined by Folin-Ciocalteu, aluminum chloride, and Yermakov methods, respectively. Results: The acetone extract of the aerial parts of Saxifraga spinulosa exhibited excellent scavenging activity with IC50 (μg/mL) 14.98±0.16 against DPPH radical. Moreover the n-butanol fraction showed greater DPPH scavenging activity with IC50 (μg/mL) 28.69±0.09 compared to the non-polar chloroform fraction. So far the active n-butanol fraction passed through an octadecylsilicagel (3 x 12.5 см) and eluted with H20 (fraction A, 1.9 g), MeOH 20% (fraction B, 0.45 g), MeOH 40% (fraction C, 1.56 g), MeOH 80% (fraction D, 0.268 g), and MeOH (fraction E, 0.0012 g). From them, fractions A, B, C, and D showed significant activity, while fraction E had moderate activity. The total phenolic contents of acetone extract (121.42±14.33), n-butanol (113.42±16.29), and water residue (68.09±20.44), were expressed as Gallic acid equivalents. The flavonoid contents were found to be acetone extract (37.27±3.05), n-butanol (50.6±6.43), and water residue (5.93±2.0) in methanol using rutin equivalents. Conclusions: Antioxidant activity of Saxifraga spinulosa extracts were shown to be related to the phenolic components. Detailed investigation is needed to isolate antioxidant active compounds from this plant and determine their chemical structures as well as to make it accessible to modern clinical practice. Key words: Saxifraga spinulosa, DPPH radical scavenging activity, total phenolic content

Pharmacological Activities of a Mongolian Medicinal Plant, Malva mohileviensis Down.

Aims: To investigate the Mongolian plant M. mohileviensis Down. for the presence of possible bioactive products that could be related to the traditional use of the plant in Mongolia. Methodology: Ethanolic and water extracts of both seeds and herb were tested for antiinflammatory and DPPH scavenging activity. Polysaccharides were isolated from the seeds using sequence of chromatographic methods. The polysaccharide fraction from the cold water extract was then analyzed for the presence of monosaccharides and their type of linkages by GC and GC-MS. The effect of the polysaccharides on the complement system was then determined. Results: The ethanolic and aqueous extracts of seeds and herbs, as well as crude polysaccharides from cold and hot water extracts exhibited a significant anti-inflammatory activity in the model based on histamine-induced paw edema. Anti-inflammatory effects of all samples were high during the 3rd hour of inflammation. Moreover, the ethanolic extracts of seeds and herbs exhibited DPPH scavenging activity. Phytochemical studies of the cold water seed polysaccharide revealed the presence of an uncommon pectic type polysaccharide. Galacturonic acid (38%) and rhamnose (30%) were present as the main monosaccharides, and linkage analyses revealed that galacturonic acid was present as terminal, 14 and 13,4 linked units and rhamnose basically as 13 linked units. The complement fixation activity was appr.15 μg/ml, substantially lower than that of the standard used. The results also indicate strongly that the M. mohileviensis and M. verticillata are two different Malva species.

Ethylacetate fraction's SC50 was 6.8 microgram/mL, very strong DPPH radical scavenging activities, but water fraction did not show any activity.

Effects of Antioxidative, DPPH Radical Scavenging Activity and Antithrombogenic by the Extract of Sancho ( Zanthoxylum Schinifolium)

Effects of root, stem and leaf extract of sancho (Zanthoxylum schinifolium) on the inhibition of lipid peroxidation in the hepatic microsome of rat, DPPH radical scavenging activity and activated partial thromboplastin times (APTT) were examined in vitro. The highest inhibition of hepatic microsomal lipid peroxidation was observed by ethyl acetate fraction than that of methylene chloride fraction of the root and stem extracts. The high inhibition of lipid peroxidation was determined in the leaf, the root and the stem in order. The DPPH radical scavenging activity of ethyl acetate fraction was higher than that of n-butanol fraction and it was similar to the root and the steam extract. It was similar to the inhibition of hepatic microsomal lipid peroxidation. The DPPH radical scavenging activity was the highest in 2.500 mg/mL of ethyl acetate fraction and it was 4.4 fold higher than that of h-tocopherol, as an antioxidant standard. The DPPH radical scavenging activity was dependent on the extract concentration in the range of 0.125 - 5.000 mg/mL. The thromboplastin times were higher than that of n-butanol fraction and it was similar to the root and the steam extracts. The leaf extract showed the highest antithrombogenic effect followed by the stem and then the root extract. The activated partial thromboplastin times were dependent on the extract concentration in the range of 0.100 - 2.000 mg/mL. Consequently, the effects of antioxidative, DPPH radical scavenging activity and antithrombogenic of Z. schinifolium was observed due to the inhibition of lipid peroxidation and the DPPH radical scavenging activity by methylene chloride, n-butanol and ethyl acetate fraction of the leaf extract.
