Abstract

It is well known that the over production of reactive oxygen species is harmful for living organisms and it damages major cellular constituents such as DNA, protein, and lipid. At present, searching of new plant sources having free radical scavenging activity is an important field of research in phytomedicine as natural products are safe and relatively low cost. In this respect, attention has been focused to evaluate the antioxidant potential of hydro-methanolic extract of seed of Caesalpinia bonduc (Caesalpenacae) using different in vitro models. To evaluate the antioxidant activity, extract was examined on 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging effect, scavenging of hydrogen peroxide, hydroxyl radical scavenging potential, and anti-lipid peroxidation activity by biochemical methods. Total phenol and flavonoids contents in the said extract were measured biochemically as per standard methods. Results were compared with butylated hydroxyl toluene and α-tocopherol. Results indicated that hydro-methanolic extract has strong scavenging activity on 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical with IC50 value 157.4 μg/ml, hydroxyl radical with IC50 value 61.9 μg/ml and hydrogen peroxide with IC50 value 64.32 μg/ml. Hydro-methanolic extract also showed notable inhibition in lipid peroxidation having IC50 value 58.87 μg/ml. Phytochemical study focused that the extract is rich in phenolic compounds (24.66 mg gallic acid equivalent/g dried extract) and flavonoids (136.65 mg quercetin equivalent/g dried extract). Findings of the experiment indicated that the hydro-methanolic extract of seed of Caesalpinia bonduc is a source of natural antioxidants.

<abstract>
<p>It is well known that the over production of reactive oxygen species is harmful for living organisms and it damages major cellular constituents such as DNA, protein, and lipid. At present, searching of new plant sources having free radical scavenging activity is an important field of research in phytomedicine as natural products are safe and relatively low cost. In this respect, attention has been focused to evaluate the antioxidant potential of hydro-methanolic extract of seed of
<italic>Caesalpinia bonduc</italic>
(Caesalpenacae) using different
<italic>in vitro</italic>
models. To evaluate the antioxidant activity, extract was examined on 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging effect, scavenging of hydrogen peroxide, hydroxyl radical scavenging potential, and anti-lipid peroxidation activity by biochemical methods. Total phenol and flavonoids contents in the said extract were measured biochemically as per standard methods. Results were compared with butylated hydroxyl toluene and α-tocopherol. Results indicated that hydro-methanolic extract has strong scavenging activity on 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical with IC
<sub>50</sub>
value 157.4 μg/ml, hydroxyl radical with IC
<sub>50</sub>
value 61.9 μg/ml and hydrogen peroxide with IC

<title>INTRODUCTION</title>
<p>Majority of the diseases or disorders including diabetes mellitus, arthritis, cancer, ageing processes are often connected with reactive oxygen species (ROS) and lipid peroxidation.[
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref1">1</xref>
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref2">2</xref>
] The main contributor of oxidative stress is uncontrolled generation of free radical together with reduced levels of antioxidative vitamins and enzymes.[
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref3">3</xref>
] These free radicals interfere with biochemical processes and represent an essential part of aerobic life and metabolism.[
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref4">4</xref>
] Therefore, antioxidant with free radical scavenging activities may have great relevance for the management and therapeutics of free radical inducing diseases. Polyphenolic compounds like flavonoids and phenolic acid commonly found in plant have multiples biological effects including antioxidant activity, free radical scavenging abilities, anti inflammatory, and anti carcinogenic activities.[
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref5">5</xref>
] Currently, available synthetic antioxidants like butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), tertiary butylated hydroquinone, and gallic acid esters have suspected to cause or prompt negative health effects.[
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref6">6</xref>
] Hence, strong restrictions have been placed on their application and there is a trend to substitute them with phyto-antioxidants. Neutraceuticals having antioxidant properties are non toxic or may have minimum side effects than synthetic compounds. In this concern, our attempt is to search out the neutraceuticals for substitute of synthetic antioxidant drug. Therefore, the aim of the present study is to investigate the antioxidant activity of hydro-methanolic extract of seed of
<italic>Caesalpinia bonduc</italic>
(
<italic>C. bonduc</italic>
) on different
<italic>in vitro</italic>
models such as 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), hydrogen peroxide, hydroxyl radical, and lipid peroxidation inhibition activity. The antioxidant activities of the said plant part have been expressed in term of percentage of inhibition on free radical generation on the different
<italic>in-vitro</italic>
experimental models.</p>
<p>
<italic>C. bonduc</italic>
is a medicinal plant belonging to the family of Caesalpenacae. In Indian traditional plant medicine, it has been considered as an important remedy for the treatment of filarial infection, tumor, asthma, and diabetes.[
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref7">7</xref>
] This plant part also has a remedial effect on hyperglycemic and hyperlipidemic state in diabetic rats which was noted in our previous report.[

The intensity of the yellow color depends on the amount and nature of radical scavenger present in the sample and standard compounds. The reaction mixture containing 1 ml of 0.1 mM 1, 1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH) and various concentrations of extract (50, 100, 150, 200 and 250 μg) were made up to 3 ml with water. Then the tubes were incubated for 10 minutes. Once the blue color chromophore was formed, the absorbance of this solution was measured at 517 nm, against reagent blank containing water in place of extract. BHT was used as the standard for the comparison. The ability to scavenge the DPPH radical in terms of percentage of inhibition was calculated according to the following equation: % inhibition = {(A

<title>RESULTS AND DISCUSSION</title>
<p>Oxidative stress has been implicated in the pathology of many diseases and conditions including diabetes, cardiovascular disease, inflammatory condition, cancer, ageing etc.[
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref18">18</xref>
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref19">19</xref>
] Antioxidants may offer resistance against the oxidative stress by scavenging the free radicals, inhibiting the lipid peroxidation, and by many other mechanisms and thus prevent diseases.[
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref20">20</xref>
] Consequently, we studied the antioxidant activities of hydro-methanolic extract by a series of
<italic>in-vitro</italic>
protocols using some biologically relevant models.</p>
<p>The findings of the phytochemical screening indicated that the seeds of
<italic>C. bonduc</italic>
are rich in flavonoids, phenols, and saponins which may be responsible for the antioxidative efficacy as these phytochemicals act as antioxidants.[
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref21">21</xref>
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref23">23</xref>
]</p>
<p>Phenolic compounds may contribute directly to the antioxidative action. The total phenolic content was 24.66 mg GAE/g dried extract. The total flavonoids content of the hydro-methanolic extract was 136.65 mg QE/g dried extract [
<xref ref-type="table" rid="T1">Table 1</xref>
]. Due to redox properties, phenolic compounds play an important role in adsorbing and neutralizing free radicals, quenching singlet and triplet oxygen or decomposing peroxides.[
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref24">24</xref>
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref25">25</xref>
] It has been also recognized that flavonoids show antioxidant activity through scavenging or chelating process and their effects on human nutrition and health are considerable.[

<p>The scavenging ability of hydro-methanolic extract on DPPH radical is represented by line diagram [
<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F1">Figure 1</xref>
] and compared with BHT. The scavenging activity of the investigated extract varied widely from 23.32% to 75.92% (IC
<sub>50</sub>
value 157.4 mg/ml) and in standard 26.78% to 79.88% (IC
<sub>50</sub>
value 145.89 mg/ml). From the result, we say that DPPH antioxidant assay is based on the ability of DPPH, a stable free radical, to decolorize in the presence of antioxidants. The DPPH radical contains an odd electron which is responsible for the absorbance at 517 nm and also for a visible deep purple color. When DPPH accepts an electron donated by an antioxidant compound, the DPPH is decolorized which can be quantitatively measured from the changes in absorbance.[
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref27">27</xref>
] It was observed that the radical scavenging activity is increasing with the increase of phenolic compound content.[
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref28">28</xref>
] The two separate studies were also reported a high concentration between DPPH radical scavenging potential and total phenolic content.[

Hydrogen peroxide itself is not very reactive, but it can sometimes be toxic to cell because it may give rise to hydroxyl radical in the cells.[
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref31">31</xref>
] Scavenging of hydrogen peroxide by

may be attributed to their phenolic compound which could donate electron to hydrogen peroxide, thus it is neutralizing to water.</p>

value 61.9 mg/ml) and in standard from 17.98% to 92.66% (IC

<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref32">32</xref>
] Like many free radicals, hydroxyl radical can be neutralized if it is provided with hydrogen atoms. Oxygen radical may attack DNA either in sugar or in base giving rise to a large number of products. Phytochemical study of seed extract revealed the presence of phenolic compounds which may responsible for the hydroxyl radical scavenging activity.[

<title>CONCLUSION</title>
<p>The results of the study clearly indicate that hydro-methanolic extract of seed of
<italic>C. bonduc</italic>
possess
<italic>in vitro</italic>
antioxidant activity. The encouraging results of this extract in various
<italic>in vitro</italic>
tests proved that the plant seeds act as a reducing agent, its hydrogen donating ability and effectiveness as scavengers of hydrogen peroxide and hydroxyl radical. Hence, it is worthwhile to isolate and elucidate the bioactive principle(s) responsible for the antioxidant activity of the extract which is underway in our laboratory.</p>
