Antioxidant and Antibacterial activity of Gloriosa superba flowers. Evaluation of Phytochemicals, Antioxidant and Antibacterial properties of Gloriosa superba flowers

      Аннотация: The Phytochemical screening of AQGSF showed that the secondary metabolites namely alkaloids, flavanoids, terpenoids, phenols, tannins, carbohydrates, amino acids and absence of saponin, protein and steroids were respectively. The AQGsF showed IC50 values greater activity for scavenging DPPH radical activity when compared to standard ascorbic acid (ABA). The antibacterial activity of AQGSF exposed that against various pathogens including E.coli, S. aureus, P.vulgaris, B. subtilus and K.pneumonia. The maximum zone of inhibition reported Proteus vulgaris followed by Escherichia Coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilus and also resistant by Klebsiella pneumonia. From the present study, it was observed that the AQGSF possesses good antibacterial potential and it could be rationalized taking into account the presence of phenolics and flavonoid contents in it. It is advantageous to use the plant antioxidant and antibacterial agents in therapeutic drugs for the implications of human health as it is from natural products greatly contribute to the prevention of pathological disorders.
