Other claims from this paper (10)
- Observation Both leaf and flower extracts inhibited bacteria and fungi in a concentration-dependent manner.
- Observation Gram-positive bacteria were more susceptible to the extracts than Gram-negative bacteria.
- Observation Leaf extract scavenged DPPH radicals dose dependently with IC50 of 6.01ìg/ml.
- Observation Flower extract scavenged DPPH radicals dose dependently with IC50 of 5.20ìg/ml.
- Association Increasing extract concentrations increased absorbance in the ferric reducing assay, indicating reducing potential.
- Observation Leaf extract chelated ferrous ions with IC50 of 180.98ìg/ml.
- Observation Flower extract chelated ferrous ions with IC50 of 152.89ìg/ml.
- Observation Both extracts contained flavonoids, saponins and tannins.
- Observation Flower extract had higher total phenolic and flavonoid contents than leaf extract.
- Mechanism Flower extract showed stronger antioxidant and antimicrobial activity than leaf extract, potentially related to its phenolic and flavonoid contents.
