SIMULTANEOUS DETERMINATION OF PHYTOCHEMICALS IN RHYNCHOSIA CAPITATA BY RP-HPLC AND GC/MS; ITS ANTIOXIDANT AND ANTIMICROBIAL ACTIVITY
The search for novel drugs from higher plants led to the analysis of a novel plant source lessThan i greaterThan Rhynchosia capitata lessThan /i greaterThan for its phytoconstituents. GC/MS study confirm the presence of oleic acid, octadecanoic acid, phytol, hexadecanoic acid, E-11-hexadecenoic acid, Z,Z,Z-4,6,9-nonadecatriene, tetradecanoic acid, 5-azulenemethanol and1-butanol. A highly sensitive reverse phase high performance liquid chromatographic analysis is carried out to detect the presence of five plant phenolics namely gallic acid, caffeic acid, ferulic acid, rutin and quercetin. Antioxidant activity is tested via DPPH assay and antimicrobial activity for the human pathogenic strains lessThan i greaterThan Staphylococcus aureus lessThan /i greaterThan , lessThan i greaterThan Bacillus cereus lessThan /i greaterThan , lessThan i greaterThan Escherichia coli lessThan /i greaterThan , lessThan i greaterThan Pseudomonas aeruginosa lessThan /i greaterThan is also carried out. A comparison of the antioxidant and antimicrobial activity of the ethanol extract revealed antioxidant behavior to be dominant.
