Chemical and biological characterize of some species from Mahdadh Dhahab region
Abstract
The present study aims to detect the flavonoid and phenolic constituents of six selected species belonging to different families represented in Mahd adh Dhahab region as well as screen their antioxidant and cytotoxic activities. These are Senna alexandrina Mill. and Vachellia nilotica (L.) P.J.H.Hurter & Mabb. (Fabaceae), Vitex trifolia L. (Lamiaceae), Moltkiopsis ciliata (Forssk.) I. M. Johnston (Boraginaceae), Salicornia europaea L. (Chenopodiaceae) and Acanthus spinosus L. (Acanthaceae).The phenolic and flavonoid profiles were carried out using HPLC technique. In addition, in vivo antioxidant activity was performed using DPPH assay while the cytotoxicity was summarized by MTT test. Thirty three compounds were detected using HPLC technique and comparison with standards. They were detected as 14 phenolic acids and 19 flavonoids. The flavonoids were represented as five C-glycosyl flavones, five flavones, six flavonols and three flavanones. The DPPH assay showed moderate activities with % activity 40.67±0.8, 45.23±0.34 and 43. 55± 1.1 for M. ciliata, V. nilotica and A. spinosus, respectively and weak activity for the rest investigated plants. V. nilotica showed significant cytotoxicity against breast adenocarcinoma (MCF-7) cells, lung carcinoma (A549) and colon carcinoma with % inhibition 96.3±0.7, 97.2±0.24, 96.1±0.2, respectively. Among the studied species, V. nilotica showed the highest content of phenolic acids and flavonoids as well as a highly antioxidant and anticancer activities.
