Phytochemical profiling, antioxidant and anticancer activity of seeds extracts of Syzygium cumini (L.)
Abstract
Syzygium cumini (L.) is a common plant and known for various medicinal properties. The study was conducted to investigate the phytochemical profiling, antioxidant and anticancer activity from the seeds of Syzygium cumini. Ethanol was prepared from seed of Syzygium cumini used for phytochemical analysis. The qualitative phytochemical screening of the ethanolic extract revealed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, terpenoids, saponins, phenols and carbohydrates. The quantitative analysis proved the presence of total flavonoids, phenols analysed by standard methods. The present findings clearly demonstrated that Syzygium cumini was an effective antioxidant in various studies like vitamin C, vitamin E and in vitro antioxidant assays including DPPH, reducing rower assay and performed by standard protocols. The anticancer activity can be detected by using colon cancer (cell line HP 29). It can be done in ethanol extract of Syzygium cumini plant seeds. Therefore, the study indicates that the Syzygium cumini ethanolic extract has higher antioxidant and anticancer activity.
