Preliminary Phytochemical Screening and Antioxidant Profile of Euphorbia prostrate
نویسندگان
چکیده
Phytochemicals profiling is important for the isolation of new and novel chemical substances. The current finding is directed to the detection of different classes of chemical constituents responsible for antioxidant properties of Euphorbia prostrate.The crude methanolic extract and various solvent isolated fractions of E. prostrate showed the presence of Alkaloids, Terpenoids, Saponins, Tannins, Steroids and Glycosides, Carbohydrates, Monosaccharide’s, combined reducing sugars and soluble starch. The crude methanolic extract/fractions were investigated for their antioxidant potentials by DPPH free radical assay. The ethyl acetate and chloroform fraction exhibited significance DPPH scavenging effect among the entire fraction.The current investigation, suggest that E. prostrate contain potential sources of free radicals scavenging actions.
