Abstract
The present study assessed the antioxidant and antibacterial activities of polyphenol extract of Cissampelos pareira leaves. The antioxidant activity was determined by ABTS radical lipid peroxidation inhibition, superoxide scavenging and metal chelating assay and also antibacterial activity was evaluated by the disc diffusion method. The polyphenol extract of C. pareira showed high antioxidant activity ABTS (67.32%), lipid peroxidation inhibition (73.32%), superoxide scavenging (75.32%) and had antibacterial activity against both Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria. Higher inhibition zone was detected against S. aureus (17.3 mm). The extract of this plant showed high phenolic, flavonoids contents and it can be concluded that these compounds may be responsible for antioxidant and antibacterial activity. The results indicated that the polyphenol extract of C. pareira leaves possessed strong antibacterial and antioxidant properties and could be an important source of natural compounds for development of new drugs.
