Abstract
Ageratum conyzoides L. belongs to family Asteraceae which consists of approximately 30 species and has broad pharmacological activities but most commonly used for wound healing. The purpose of this study to screening of bioactive components and to calculate the anti-oxidant potential of these weed. The FT-IR spectroscopy is used to identify and characterized the functional groups present in various plant parts with different solvents. The peaks of leaf and flower were resembled the absorption frequency of quercetin in both extracts. The result of this study concealed that flowers of Ageratum conyzoides L. possess significant amount of phenolic (270.58±0.705 µg GAE/g DW), flavonoid component (107.69±1.114 µg Quercetin/g DW) and also shown noteworthy antioxidant properties among all plant parts with aqueous and ethanol solvents. The regression analysis shows that flavonoid compounds contribute to about 81% (r2 = 0.8084, P < 0.05) of radical scavenging properties. Thus, it revealed that this weed has a considerable antioxidant activity due to the presence of TFC.
