Abstract
Parinari curatellifolia is one of the most valued and cherished medicinal plants. Traditional herbalists extensively use the plant's exceptional components to treat diseases. Methanolic leaf extract of Parinari curatellifolia was evaluated for its quantitative phytochemical composition and antioxidant properties in order to set up the relationship between these properties and its acclaimed healing properties in traditional medicine. Plant material was air-dried and methanolic extract was made from the leaf. The free radical scavenging activity of the leaf extract of Parinari curatellefolia with the aid of DPPH and H2O2 approach exhibited a concentration-dependent response. Antioxidant activities of the methanolic leaf extract of Parinari curatellifolia using 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picryl hydrazyl (DPPH) shows the percentage scavenging property of 41.67%, 72.67%, 77.85% and 80.49% at 20µg/ml, 40µg/ml, 60µg/ml and 80µg/ml respectively. Antioxidant activities of the methanolic leaf extract of Parinari curatellefolia using Hydrogen Peroxide Scavenging activity indicates the share scavenging activity of 49.45%, 52.49%, 56.35%, and 60.77% at 20µg/ml, 40µg/ml, 60µg/ml and 80µg/ml respectively. The methanolic leaf extract was partitioned for the quantitative phytochemical composition. The quantitative phytochemical composition of the aqueous partition indicates 9.86% saponin, 0.085% tannin, 4.81% alkaloids, 7.81% flavonoids, 0.44% phenolics, and 3.86% steroids. The quantitative phytochemical composition of the hexane partition indicates 2.23% saponin, 0.014% tannin, 4.10% alkaloids, 7.62% flavonoids, 0.357% phenolics, and 2.56% steroids. The quantitative phytochemical composition of the ethyl acetate partition indicates 5.96% saponin, 0.008% tannin, 5.99% alkaloids, 10.8% flavonoids, 0.127% phenolics, and 0.14% steroids. The presence of a good number of phytochemicals in the methanolic leaf extract of Parinari curatelliolia and the antioxidant activities displayed by the methanolic leaf extract of Parinari curatelliolia justifies the use of the plant by traditional healers in the management and treatment of disease.
