Seasonal Discrepancy in Phenolic Content and Antioxidant Properties from Bark of Nothapodytes Nimmoniana (grah.) Mabb
نویسندگان
چکیده
Seasonal discrepancy in the antioxidant potential from bark of Nothapodytes nimmoniana was evaluated using two different methods (DPPH and FRAP) and were related to total phenolic content as well as flavonoid content. Higher yield of phenolic and flavonoid were observed during summer (May) similarly, the antioxidant activities (DPPH & FRAP) also were high. The antioxidant activities were strongly correlated with total phenolics (DPPH, FRAP) in all seasons, the maximum being during the summer (May) and minimum during monsoon (August). Total phenolic content showed highest correlation with DPPH and FRAP antioxidant assays during the month of winter (December). A specific pattern of increase from August-December-May was observed in phenolic content and antioxidant activities (FRAP and DPPH) tested for respective standards.

Desorption electrospray ionization was employed for fast and direct ambient detection of the anti-tumor drug, camptothecin, and its derivative, 9-methoxycamptothecin in Nothapodytes nimmoniana. Different parts of the plant such as leaves, stems and bark were examined. The ion intensities suggest that the concentration in bark is higher than that in the leaves and stems. The method does not requ...
