TLC PROFILES, TOTAL PHENOLIC AND FLAVONOID CONTENTS, ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVITY OF CYNOMETRA ANANTA
AbstractCynometra ananta belongs to the Fabaceae family and is a source of biologically active secondary metabolites. In West Africa, C. ananta is renowned for its empirical application against a range of illnesses. The phytochemical composition, total phenolic and flavonoid levels, and in-vitro antioxidant activity of extracts made from C. ananta trunk bark were all examined in this work. TLC was used to detect phenolic compounds and total flavonoids ; spectrophotometric techniques were used to quantify the total phenolic and flavonoid contents; and the DPPH test was used to measure the antioxidant activity of extracts from maceration and sonication. Sonication produced the greatest levels of total flavonoid (14 ±0.7 µg EQ/mg of dry matter) and phenolic (482 ± 4.8 µg GAE/mg of dry matter) contents. Moreover, with a 92% trapping rate, sonication displayed the highest DPPH activity. C. ananta trunk bark is a significant source of phenolic compounds and flavonoids. Trunk bark has demonstrated therapeutic benefits in conventional settings, making it a promising candidate for alternative medicine.
