Comparison of in vitro antioxidative activities of crude methanolic extracts of three species of Passiflora from greenhouse using DPPH, ABTS and FRAP methods
Comparison of in vitro antioxidative activities of crude methanolic extracts of three species of Passiflora from greenhouse using DPPH, ABTS and FRAP methods
Introduction:. It is well documented that many species from Passifloraceae family can provide edible and
nutritious fruits while the leaves of cultivated plants are renewable and waste material. This biomass may be
further used in various sectors, especially as a bioactive food additive and as source of innovative pharmaceuticals, cosmetics or feed additives. The biomaterials and green chemistry are new sectors bioeconomy
according to the high-level horizontal strategies and bio-based industries in Europe. In recent years, attention has been paid to the biological activity and phytochemical profiles of extracts from different species
of Passiflora. However, there is little comparative studies using the same procedures and techniques in the
same laboratory conditions for study of plant material obtained from the similar greenhouse conditions.
Objective: This study was focused on the examination of antioxidative activities of low concentrations of
crude extracts from leaves of Passiflora incarnata L., Passiflora caerulea L., and Passiflora alata Curtis.
Methods: The activity was evaluated using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), 2,2’-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) (ABTS) radical scavenging and ferric reducing antioxidant power
(FRAP) methods. Results of study were supported by estimation of chemical composition with secondary
metabolites profiling in extracts which were carried out previously for the same extracts from three Passiflora species. One-way ANOVA analysis revealed significant differences in the antioxidant activity of various
concentrations of the extracts using the DPPH and ABTS radical models, and FRAP method.
Results: Measurement of antioxidant capacity (expressed as trolox equivalent, TE) showed that the most
active was extract of P. caerulea > P. alata > P. incarnata. Phytochemical analysis for extracts of P. caerulea
and P. incarnata showed greater similarities in metabolites content than P. alata. However, comparative
statistical analysis of antioxidant activity showed that despite this phytochemical similarities, extract from P.
alata leaves had higher activities than extract from leaves P. incarnata. Antioxidant effect of extract from P.
alata can be explain by terpenoids presented in this extract. In this work, there have been discussed activities against Acanthamoeba castellanii strain, antibacterial and antifungal activities against selected clinical
microorganisms (Enterococcus faecalis, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Candida albicans, Microsporum gypseum), and anti-leukemic activities tested in human acute lymphoblastic leukemia cell lines for
this extracts, which have been described in previous authors’ publications.
Conclusion: Our current and previous studies showed that the same crude extracts from leaves of P. alata,
P. caerulea, P. incarnata exerted not only antioxidant potential in vitro but also few interesting properties
such as antibacterial, antifungal, amoebostatic, amoebicidal activities, which indicate the possibility of using
these extracts in both a healthy diet and natural cosmetics. Leaves of this species may become an interesting
source of biomaterials which can exert health-promoting effects.
