Evaluation of in vitro antioxidant activity of different extracts of entire plant of Ipomoea pestigridis Linn
Abstract
Ipomoea pestigridis (Linn) (family Convolvulaceae) is commonly known as “Tiger Foot Morning Glory” in English and locally known as ‘Pulichuvadi’ or ‘Pulichuvadu’ in Malayalam. The current study, aerial parts of different concentrates(Pet.ether, ethyl acetate, and methanol) of I.pestigridis, was evaluated for its in-vitro antioxidant potential by nitric oxide activity, total antioxidant activity, iron chelating activity taking ascorbate & Ethylenediamine tetraacetate as the standard correspondingly. An IC50 value was originated that EA concentrates of I.pestigridis more efficient in nitric oxide activity, total antioxidant activity, Iron chelating capacity compared methanolic & PE concentrates. The ethyl acetate concentrates of I.pestigridis & ascorbic acid exhibited antioxidant potential possessing IC50 226µg/ml & 66µg/ml (Nitric oxide). 185µg/ml & 60µg/ml (total antioxidant) , 287µg/ml & 65µg/ml (iron-chelating Activity) respectively. The difference in the scavenging potential of the extracts can be due to variation in the percentage of bioactive compounds present in different solvents. Invitro antioxidant studies obviously show EA concentrates of I.pestigridis have better antioxidant activity. These results indicate that aerial parts of methanolic concentrate I.pestigridis could serve as a natural antioxidant, which may be useful in preventing free radical-induced diseases.

Introduction
Free radicals might be defined as one or more unpaired electrons present in the molecules as it's outmost orbital and are able of autonomous existence. It is regularly represented as hydrogen radical (H·), which contains one proton and one electron (unpaired) is the simplest free radical. A free radical reaction might be finished by a reaction among two free radicals or by neutralization by substances such as the antioxidants (Fang, Yang, & Wu, 2002). Free radicals may be generated both in vivo and in vitro through one of the subsequent mechanisms. Loss of a single electron from a regular molecule. Addition of an electron to regular molecule (Halliwell & Gutteridge, 1999). Ethnomedical literature contains a huge amount of herbs that may be used for the various diseases, in which ROS and free radical participate vital responsibility. A huge numerical herbs are used for strong antioxidant activity (Badami, Gupta, & Suresh, 2003). Current reports revealed that there is a converse connection among the intake of antioxidant-rich foods and the occurrence of human diseases (Halliwell et al., 1999).

Ipomoea pestigridis (Linn) (family Convolvulaceae) is commonly known as “Tiger Foot Morning Glory” in English and locally known as ‘Pulichuvadi’ or ‘Pulichuvadu’ in Malayalam (Pawar & Patil, 2004; Sahu & Gupta, 2014). I.pestigridis was used for the treatment of wound healing (Amor-Prats & Harborne, 1993; Austin, 1975). I.pestigridis was used for different diseases like headaches, swellings, poisonous stings, snake bites. I.pestigridis was used for analgesic, antimicrobial, thrombocytic, cytotoxic activity (Pratap, Sudarsanam, Jyothi, Prasad, & David, 2011). Still, no literature are available on the antioxidant activity of the entire plant of I.pestigridis. Thus, the present study to assess the antioxidant activities of the entire plant of I.pestigridis.

Preparation of Concentrates
The pulverized materials were progressively concentrated with PE (40-600C) through hot constant percolation method in Soxhlet equipment (Harborne, 1984) for twenty-four hours. At that moment, the marc was subjected to EA (76-780C) for 24 hrs & then mark was subjected to methanol for 24 hrs. The concentrates were concentrated through the rotational evaporator and subjected to solidify drying in a lyophilizer till dry powder was acquired. (AlagumaniVasagam, KottaiMuthu, & Manavalan, 2010).
Assessment of Antioxidant potential through invitro methods
The variety of concentrates of I.pestigridis were used assessment of antioxidant activity by (Garrat, 1964) method was adopted for NO radical assay & (Prieto, Pineda, & Aguilar, 1999) method described for total antioxidant activity, and (Benzie & Strain, 1996) method was adopted to determine the Iron chelating activity.

Iron chelating potential
The iron complex potential of PE concentrates I.pestigridis & Ethylenediamine tetraacetate were appeared in Table 7. The more iron-binding potential of PE concentrates & Ethylenediamine tetraacetate 1000 µg/ml were recorded, 55.48% & 96.34 %. The IC50 of PE concentrates of I.pestigridis & Ethylenediamine tetraacetate were found as 760µg/ml & 65µg/ml correspondingly.
The iron complex potential of EA concentrates of I.pestigridis & Ethylenediamine tetraacetate was were presented in Table 8. The more iron-binding capacity of EA concentrates & Ethylenediamine tetraacetate 1000 µg/ml was recorded at 69.87% & 96.34 %. The IC50 value of ethyl acetate concentrates of I.pestigridis & Ethylenediamine tetraacetate were found 217µg/ml & 65µg/ml correspondingly.
The iron complex potential of methanolic concentrates of I.pestigridis & Ethylenediamine tetraacetate were presented in Table 9. The more iron-binding potential of methanolic concentrates & Ethylenediamine tetraacetate 1000 µg/ml were recorded, 67.32% & 96.34 %. The IC50 value of methanol concentrates of I.pestigridis & Ethylenediamine tetraacetate was recorded as 385µg/ml & 65µg/ml correspondingly.
IC50 values & iron-binding potential revealed that ethyl acetate concentrates of I.pestigridis is a huge activity in iron-chelating potential when compared methanol & petroleum ether concentrates. But when compared to all the three concentrates, the ethyl acetate concentrates of the I.pestigridis showed the better result.
Assessment of antioxidant activity, so many in vitro methods have been used a variety of concentrates of I.pestigridis. The results of antioxidant activity by NO radical activity, total antioxidant activity & iron-chelating potential were expressed in terms of % inhibition of generated free radicals, respectively, with respect to various concentrations. NO is produced from L-arginine through vascular endothelial cells, phagocytes, and certain cells of the brain. NO is a free radical since its unpaired electron and displays significant reactivity with confident types of proteins and other free radicals. The toxicity of Nitric oxide becomes a side effect when it reacts with superoxide radical, forming a highly reactive peroxynitrite anion (ONOO−) (Nagmoti, Khatri, Juvekar, & Juvekar, 2012). NO produced from sodium nitroprusside reacts with oxygen to form nitrite. The nitrite ions diazotize with sulphanilamide acid and couple with naphthyl ethylenediamine, producing pink coloured, which absorbs at 546 nm (Balakrishnan, Panda, Raj, Shrivastava, & Prathani, 2009). Among the three different plant concentrates tested, interestingly, in the NO radical activity of the EA extract of I.pestigridis exhibited more NO radical potential comparable with that of ascorbic acid.
The iron-chelating potential of all the concentrates was measured by Fe-ferrozine complex formation. Ferrozine-Fe complex is producing red coloured, which absorbs at 562nm (Yamaguchi, Ariga, Yoshimura, & Nakazawa, 2000). It was revealed that Ethylenediamine tetraacetate, which forms σ bond with iron, are efficient as secondary antioxidants, for the basis that they decrease the redox potential, thereby stabilizing the oxidized form of the iron ion (Duh, Du, & Yen, 1999). The iron-chelating potential of ethyl acetate extract of I.pestigridis exhibited a higher ability in scavenging compared to standard Ethylenediamine tetraacetate.
Conclusions
The current trends, antioxidative activity of the herbs having more interest due to their possible use as natural additives to substitute synthetic ones. Among the three various extract ethyl acetate extracts of I.pestigridis exhibited higher potency of antioxidant activity. These results indicate that ethyl acetate extract of I.pestigridis might serve as a natural antioxidant, which may be useful in preventing free radical-induced diseases.
