Abstract

In this study we screened Moringa oleifera for bioactive secondary metabolites and biol. activity. Secondary metabolites were detected by phytochem. tests, and biol. activity was confirmed through anti-oxidant assays. Phytochems. (phenolics and flavonoids) was done by using methanol, ethanol and aqueous extracts Phytochem. anal. of Moringa oleifera extracts was performed in terms of TPCs and TFCs, revealed that aqueous ethanolic extract offered highest TPCs (46.5 mg GAE/g DW) and TFCs (79.2 mg CE/g DW). Antioxidant activity was determined by DPPH radical scavenging activity and measure of reducing power. Results revealed that aqueous ethanolic extract showed highest radical scavenging activity and also exhibited maximum reducing potential. Reults indicates that M. oleifera have potential antibacterial, antifungal, antimicrobial, antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-malarial, and anti-rheumatic activities. Antioxidant activity of leaves extract of Moringa oleifera was evaluated by 1, 1-diphenyl-2-picry l-hydrazyl (DPPH) and reducing power. These data support Moringa oleifera as having enough potential to be used safely as a potent antioxidant.
