Abstract
Psiadia punctulata (DC.) (Asteraceae) is a small shrub, which is native to Arabia and East and South Africa. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the chemical constitutions qualitatively and quantitatively, as well as the antioxidant activity of extracts obtained from the aerial parts of Pisadia punctulata. Phytochemical analysis of 80% methanol extract showed the presence of carbohydrates, flavonoids, steroids, triterpenoids, phenolic acids and saponins. The total phenolic and flavonoid contents of the 80% methanol extract ware 54.63±3.30 mg/g and 36.77±2.86 mg/g, respectively. The methanol extract and its fractions (ethyl acetate, chloroform and n-butanol) were exhibited antioxidant activity in rapid screening of antioxidant by dot-blot DPPH method and by TLC bioautography assay. Antioxidant activity ranged from 26±4.20% for chloroform fraction to 98±3.12% for n-butanol fraction. The aerial parts of Pisadia punctulata are a promising candidate for the production of naturally occurring antioxidant agents.
