Phytochemical screening and antioxidant activity of Ipomoea hederifolia stems: A potential medicinal plant

Abstract. Hossain MM, Uddin MS, Baral PK, Ferdus M, Bhowmik S. 2022. Phytochemical screening and antioxidant activity of Ipomoea hederifolia stems: A potential medicinal plant. Asian J Nat Prod Biochem 20: 41-47. L., a plant Convolvulaceae family, popularly known as morning glory, possesses numerous values. The present study aimed to explore the bioactive compounds I. stems (IHS). IHS was soaked in methanol for 21 days. filtrate concentrated using rotary evaporator after filtration obtain extract which is subjected phytochemical various tests. Antioxidant determined 1,1-Diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) reducing power (RPA) methods. screenings revealed that carbohydrates, tannins, flavonoids, phenols, saponin, alkaloids, steroids, anthraquinones, cardiac glycosides. DPPH model moderate (IC50 :174.08 µg/ml) comparison with standards (IC50: 102.28 µg/mL AA; IC50: 88.52 BHT). It indicates exerts free radical scavenging dose dependent fashion. RPA also produced (EC50: 279.58 IHS; EC50: 23.121 50.84 BHT) depending on increasing order dose. Based findings this investigation, we can conclude potentials may be path discovery traditional medicines remedies many critical diseases.
