COMPARATIVE PROFILING OF PHYTOCHEMICAL CONTENTS AND RADICAL SCAVENGING POTENTIAL IN SOME SPECIES OF FAMILY MORACEAE


 The current study was carried out for comparative estimation of phytochemicals, anti-radical properties and half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) seven species family Moraceae using 2, 2-Diphenyl-1-Picrylhydrazyl assay. Methanolic (70%) extraction crude leaves extracts done via Double Maceration technique. Quantitative assay determining the radical scavenging activity DPPH as well IC50 value observed. Results showed presence all major classes phyto-compounds in Moraceae, maximum percent inhibition observed by Ficus infectoria (96±0.21) while minimum macrophylla (scavenging >79.08%). Half Graph pad prism 5.04 software. Concentration dependent Family Moraceae. However selected had significant antioxidant potential which indicated pharmaceutical uses under on commercial scale near future.
