Abstract
The total phenolic and flavonoid contents, antioxidant and antibacterial properties of chloroform extract of Sida rhombifolia were investigated. Chloroform extract of Sida rhombifolia showed significant amounts of phenolic and flavonoid compounds and exhibited strong antioxidant activity. Also chloroform extract of Sida rhombifolia contained the highest phenolic and flavonoid contents (83.32 ± 2.34 mg GAE/g of extract and 63.21 ± 1.78 mg QE/g of extract, respectively). It also presented the highest ABTS• scavenging activity with an EC50 of 58.32 μg mL, and the highest lipid peroxidation EC50 value of 64.32 μg mL. The extracts were found to exert moderate antibacterial activity against both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. These findings highlighted a scientific basis to the traditional usage of Sida rhombifolia, also showed its potential as a rich source of natural antioxidant and antibacterial compounds.
