| description | Rumex vesicarius L. (Polygonaceae), an edible plant has
many important medicinal uses in the southeast of Algeria. The medicinal
importance of this plant is a reflection of its chemical composition since the
plant contains many bioactive substances. This research investigated the
polyphenols profiling (total phenolic content, flavonoids, and condensed
tannins), antioxidant and antibacterial properties of ethanolic extracts of
seed, flower, leaf and stem from Rumex Vesicarius L. The total phenolic,
flavonoid, condensed tannins contents, and antioxidant activity of all the
parts extract was quantified. All extracts showed the presence of phenolic
compounds and exhibited different levels of free radical scavenging activity
against ABTS and superoxide radicals. In addition, for antibacterial activity,
the following bacteria were tested: Salmonella typhimurium (ATCC 13311),
Escherichia coli (ATCC 35210), Bacillus subtilis (ATCC 10907),
Staphylococcus epidermidis (ATCC 12228), Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC
29213) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC 27853). Results showed that
all extracts possessed concentration-dependent antioxidant activity. The
study concludes that Rumex vesicarius L possess diverse therapeutic
potentials that might be used as natural antioxidant and antibacterial. |
