Antioxidant activity of flavonoids from leaves of Jatropha curcas

چکیده
The objective of this study was to characterize the antioxidant properties of ethanol extracted from leaves of Jatropha curcas and to determinate the compounds. The IC50 values of DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) and ABTS (2,2′-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) diammonium salt) were found to be 7.47 and 6.6 μg/ml, respectively, for the extracts. The reducing power of the extracts increased from 0.09 to 0.16, respectively, for 1–32 μg/ml of standard reagent. The assignment of the flavone compounds using HPLC-DAD-MS was based on the evaluation of their UV-Vis absorption maxima (λmax) and mass spectral analyses. Tentatively, 4 compounds (orientin, vitexin, isovitexin, rhoifolin) were identified.

CORROSION INHIBITIVE PROPERTIES OF EXTRACT OF JATROPHA CURCAS LEAVES ON MILD STEEL IN HYDROCHLORIC ACID ENVIRONMENT
Jatropha curcas leaves extract was tested as a green corrosion inhibitor for mild steel in aqueous hydrochloric acid solution using gravimetric and thermometric techniques. The results reveal that the inhibition efficiency vary with concentration of the leaf extract and the time of immersion. Maximum inhibition efficiency was found to be 95.92% in 2M HCl with 0.5 g/l concentration of the extrac...
