Ziziphus lotus is a spiny fruit shrub and a member of Rhamnaceae. It grows in trufts that are a few meters in diameter and up to two meters high, and is commonly called Magariya in northern Nigeria. Phytochemical screening was done using standard methods. It revealed the presence of diverse ranges of bioactive compounds, including phenols, alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, steroids, and glycosides. Aqueous Extract shows significant (p0.05) DPPH radical scavenging activity, with% inhibition increasing with concentration. Maximum% inhibition for DPPH (11.53 ± 0.005), ABTS (30.44 ± 1.47), and H2O2 (27.68 ± 1.39) was observed at 100 µg/ml. Gallic Acid used as a positive control, gallic acid shows DPPH radical scavenging activity, with% inhibition increasing with concentration. Maximum% inhibition for DPPH (65.38 ± 1.46), ABTS (69.62 ± 1.36) and H2O2 (63.39 ± 1.39) observed at 100 µg/ml. The aqueous extract shows significantly lower (p0.05) DPPH, ABTS and H2O2 radical scavenging activity compared to gallic acid at all concentrations. The extract exhibited slight antioxidant activity as evidenced related to the activities carried out using DPPH radical Scavenging activity, ABTS and H202. Where a standard was used, which is garlic acid, known for its antioxidant activity, which shows significantly higher antioxidant activity than the plant extract....Preview Download Preview +Other Biochemistry project topics and materials you might be interested in»Phytochemical and nutritive composition of fluted pumpkin»Determination of ascorbic acid in selected fruits mango, orange and pineapple using spectro-photometric method»Comparative evaluation of heavy metal loads in some selected soft drinks in Owerri, Imo state»Antilipidemic effect of water (H2O) extract of desmodium velutinum leaves on albino Wistar rats»The effect of water extract of cola nitida pod on lipoprotein concentrations of albino Wistar rats»Preliminary investigation on effects of burantashi extract on lipoproteins of albino male and female whistar rats»The extraction of manganese (iv) ion from aqueous media using 1-phethyl-3-methyl pyrazolone-5»Nutritive value, anti-nutrient and mineral composition of cashew nut (Anacardium Occidentale)»Evaluation of the immunomodulatory effect of oral administration of the methanol extract of gongronema latifolium (utazi) in wistar albino rats»Comparative study on the free radical scavenging potential of turmeric and beetroot»Phytochemicals and minerals analysis of rosary pea (Abrus Precatorious leaves)»Determination of total petroleum hydrocarbons in Niger river»Qualitative phytochemical and gas chromatography mass spectrometry GCMS of Nhexane extracted leaves of sabicea calycina»Hydrogen peroxide scavenging activities and reducing power of various fruits juice in Yenagoa»Charges in the concentration of nitric oxide in the serum gills brain liver and kidney of clarias gariepinus exposed to glyphosatebased herbicide
