Abstract
To evaluate the antibacterial and antioxidant activities of flavonoid rich fraction from the flowers of Mimusops elengi. In this background, the in vitro antibacterial and antioxidant activity was demonstrated by ABTS radicals, lipid peroxidation, nitric oxide scavenging activities and antibacterial activity was evaluated first by studying inhibiting bacterial growth by dics diffusion and minimum inhibitory concentration. Total phenolic and flavonoid content were found respectively (72.36 ± 2.34) mg gallic acid equivalent/g, and (58.34 ± 2.45) mg quercetin equivalent/g. The flavonoid rich fraction displayed significant scavenging activity of some radicals such as ABTS EC50 value 57.23 µl/ml. Flavonoid rich fraction from the flowers of Mimusops elengi showed in vitro antibacterial activity by disc diffusion maximum inhibiting growth of 16.32mm in Staphylococcus aureus. Our results show that flavonoid rich fraction from the flowers of Mimusops elengi has good antioxidant activity and interesting anti-inflammatory properties. Flavonoid rich fraction from the flowers of Mimusops elengi can be used to prevent bacterial infection and oxidative processes.
