\begin{abstract}
Quantitative and qualitative analysis of different phytochemical components and antioxidant and antidiabetic activities of the extract of \textit{Clerodendrum paniculatum} flower (CPF) were analyzed \textit{in vitro}. Chromatographic identification of phytocompounds of \textit{Clerodendrum paniculatum} flower was also identified by GC-MS analysis. To assess the biochemical features of \textit{CPF}. Sequential solvent extraction of CPF was performed using solvents in increasing order of polarity (petroleum ether, chloroform, ethyl acetate, ethanol, and water) and solvent with maximum phytochemical profile was standardized for further analysis. Quantitative analysis of selected secondary metabolites like tannin, flavanoids, alkaloids, and phenols of the flower extract was done by UV spectrophotometer. \textit{In vitro} antioxidant assays and \textit{in vitro} antidiabetic efficacy of the flower extract were analyzed by respective \textit{in vitro} assays. Chromatographic identification of phytochemicals in CPF was identified by using GC-MS analysis. Quantitative estimation revealed an accountable amount of secondary metabolites like phenols (47.66mg/g gallic acid equivalent), flavonoids (24mg/g quercetin equivalent), tannins (41mg/g catechine equivalent), and alkaloids (1.79mg/g of extracted plant material). Chromatographic analysis (GC-MS) also confirmed convincing bioactive compounds in the extract. From \textit{in vitro} antioxidant and antidiabetic assay, the IC\ensuremath{_{50}} value of the extract of CPF was measured and compared with standard, and from the results, it was evident that the extract had significant \textit{in vitro }antioxidant and antidiabetic activity. From the above results, it can be confirmed that CPF has got pharmacologically significant phytoconstituents and therapeutically active ingredients, as evident in chromatographic analysis.

\section{Introduction}
From ancient times herbs have been used in abounding endemic practices of medicines for a remedial idea. They are increasingly becoming prominent in modern society as a substitute for synthetic medicines. Herbal medicines are culturally more acceptable because they cause fewer side effects than some other commercial drugs \unskip~\citep{785381:18699401,785381:18699406}. Today, scientific attestation is ample to support the aid of herbal medicines. Herbal medicines are nothing but "green gold" of the earth. It gives protection to humans and animals and contributes directly and indirectly towards environmental sustainability.

Of late, the availability of experimental data substantiates the proof for the involvement of free radicals in several pathophysiological states. Still, pieces of evidence are not enough to ascertain whether the ROS cause any consequence of pathology. This has lead to increasing curiosity among scientists and researchers to evaluate the potential benefits of antioxidant therapy. Antioxidants are important radical scavengers and help reduce various health disorders, such as cancer, aging, cardiovascular disease, cataracts, diabetics, and brain dysfunction \unskip~\citep{785381:18699467}. Antioxidants are being recognized as prophylactic and therapeutic agents that are pharmacologically active in the prevention of several diseases. Medicinal plants are the primary antioxidant sources in nature.

\section{Materials and Methods}
\textbf{Sample collection}

The study material of CPF was collected in late October 2018 from Wayanad district, north Kerala. They were identified in the Herbarium of Botany department, University of Calicut, Kerala. The voucher number is 148233 on 22.10.2018. 

\textbf{Qualitative} \textbf{Phytochemical studies }

Acquired plant specimens were cleaned carefully by distilled water and dried under shade. The powdered sample was then subjected to extraction in different organic solvents sequentially in increasing order of polarity (petroleum ether, chloroform, ethyl acetate, ethanol, and water). Consecutive flower extract was then analyzed for characteristic phytochemical profiles including, alkaloids, flavonoids, phenols, tannins, steroids, cardioglycosides, carbohydrates, amino acids/proteins, saponins, oils/fats, and terpenoids, according to \unskip~\citep{785381:18699472}.

\textbf{Estimation of secondary metabolites}

Secondary metabolites are the richest source of drugs (Joseph \textit{et al}. 2014). The total content of the secondary metabolites such as flavonoid \unskip~\citep{785381:18699403}, alkaloid, tannin \unskip~\citep{785381:18700202}, and phenol \unskip~\citep{785381:18699402} was measured quantitatively according to the standard methods. For flavanoid estimation, quercetin was used as a reference standard, gallic acid was used for phenolic compound estimation, and tannic acid was used for the tannin estimation. The absorbance of test and standard solution for estimation flavonoid, phenolic, and tannin was read from the UV spectrophotometer. The result of the total content was expressed in terms of milligrams of reference standard equivalent per gram. The alkaloid content was measured from the dried residue. 

\textbf{Determination of antioxidant potential of \textit{CPF} ethanolic extract}

Different assays were used for determining free radical scavenging activity of ethanolic extract of CPF such as:


  
  \begin{enumerate}
  \item \relax DPPH radical scavenging activity. 
  \item \relax FRAP assay \unskip~\citep{785381:18700204}.  
  \item \relax Hydroxyl radical scavenging activity assay \unskip~\citep{785381:18699411}. 
  \item \relax Nitric oxide radical scavenging activity \unskip~\citep{785381:18699410}. 
  \item \relax Hydrogen peroxide radical scavenging assay \unskip~\citep{785381:18700358}.
  \item \relax Reducing power assay \unskip~\citep{785381:18699465}.
  \end{enumerate}
  The extract was dissolved in 95\% of ethanol and the concentration was fixed at 1mg/1ml. From this stock solution, appropriate dilution was carried out, and sample concentration was standardized to 20 \ensuremath{\mu }g, 40 \ensuremath{\mu }g, 60 \ensuremath{\mu }g, 80 \ensuremath{\mu }g, and 100 \ensuremath{\mu }g. Ascorbic acid was used as the standard.

\textit{\textbf{In vitro}} \textbf{ antidiabetic assays}

\ensuremath{\alpha }-amylase inhibition activity assay \unskip~\citep{785381:18699463} and \ensuremath{\alpha }- glucosidase inhibition activity assay \unskip~\citep{785381:18699473} were used to determine the \textit{in vitro} antidiabetic efficacy of the ethanolic extract of CPF. Enzyme activity was calculated from the formula given below.

$\style{font-size:8px}{\begin{array}{l}\%\;of\;enzyme\;inhibition\;=\\\frac{Absorbance\;of\;control\;-\;Absorbance\;of\;sample\times100}{Absorbance\;of\;control}\end{array}} $

\textbf{High Performance Thin Layer Chromatographic analysis (HPTLC) }

It is a powerful analytical technique for phytochemical documentation and one of the tools for assessing herbal drugs \unskip~\citep{785381:18699405}. 

Chromatographic separation of the sample was done on Merck TLC plates. 5 \ensuremath{\mu }l of the sample was applied to the TLC plates (6 mm width) by using 100 \ensuremath{\mu }l size of syringe and UNOMAT 5 instrument. 

Scanning of the sample was done by TLC scanner 3 at 366 nm through fluorescence mode. 

TLC plates were visualized under UV 366 nm and visible light.

\textbf{Gas chromatography-Mass spectrometry Analysis }

GC-MS was used for the organic compound identification and quantification. Sample analysis was performed using the Thermo GC-Trace ultra version. The equipment has a capillary standard non-polar column with dimensions of 30 mm \ensuremath{\times} 0.25 mm ID \ensuremath{\times} 0.25 \ensuremath{\mu }m film. Helium was used as a carrier gas. The diluted samples of 2\ensuremath{\mu }L were injected. The compound identification was based on comparison with Willey \& Nist libraries. 

The sample components were identified by using the data bank of mass spectra. 
    
\section{Results and Discussion}
Understanding phytochemical compounds of the species under concern is the initial step of pharmacological research. The qualitative phytochemical profile of the ethanolic flower extract of \textit{Clerodendrum paniculatum} showed the presence of phytocompounds like alkaloids, flavonoids, steroids, glycosides, saponins, amino acids, carbohydrates, terpenoids, tannins, and phenols (Table~\ref{tw-cf392030af41}). Data as per consecutive solvent extraction is evident that the ethanolic extract has a maximum phytochemical profile. 

\textbf{Estimation of phytoconstituents} \textbf{ in ethanolic CPF\textit{}}

The protective effect of secondary metabolites from medicinal herbals and their publicity in disease are inferred from the epidemiological values as well as experimental studies. The results are shown in Table~\ref{tw-c02a3a66758b}. The total content of phenol, flavonoid, tannin, and alkaloid in the ethanolic flower extract was found to be 47.66 \ensuremath{\pm} 0.47 (mg/g of gallic acid), 24.00 \ensuremath{\pm} 0.94 (mg/g of quercetin), 41.00 \ensuremath{\pm} 0.8 (mg/g of tannin), and 1.79 \ensuremath{\pm} 0.23 (mg/g of extract), respectively. The results reveal a higher concentration of polyphenols.

\textbf{Antioxidant activity determination}

Accumulation of reactive oxygen species has been associated with chronic disease due to oxidative stress. The natural antioxidants can prevent this oxidative stress or neutralize the free radical formation. Antioxidant efficacy of the sample is concerning with phytoconstituent capable of protecting the oxygen system against the harmful effect of oxidative stress . In this study, the antioxidant capacity of extracts from CPF was assessed by different assays. Results of antioxidant assays and corresponding IC\ensuremath{_{50}} values are shown in Figure~\ref{f-0bd6e0f4bdf7} \& Table~\ref{tw-e788ff40f770}. FRAP and reducing power assay also exhibit an increased percentage of scavenging with an increase in concentration (Figure~\ref{f-0bd6e0f4bdf7}). The present plant species under consideration has considerable antioxidant potential. The IC\ensuremath{_{50}} value of radical scavenging assay compared with standard ascorbic acid proved that the CPF has significant radical scavenging activity. FRAP and reducing power assay further confirms the result. The effective antioxidant potential of the sample is attributed to the presence of potent bioactive phytoconstituents. 

\textit{\textbf{In vitro}} \textbf{ antidiabetic assays}

Digestive inhibitors reduce carbohydrate and fat absorption. The enzyme inhibitory action of CPF was measured by Alpha-amylase inhibition assay and Alpha-glucosidase inhibition assay. Inhibition of \ensuremath{\alpha }-amylase and \ensuremath{\alpha }-glucosidase is the preliminary way to manage the hyperglycemia in Type 2 Diabetes. From the results of antidiabetic assays, it is evident that the CPF has significant antidiabetic potential compared with standard acarbose. The results of inhibition activity assays are shown in Figure~\ref{f-fd08efb5b7ad} and corresponding IC\ensuremath{_{50}} values in Table~\ref{tw-7fc5285bd5a3}. 

\textbf{High Performance Thin Layer Chromatographic analysis }

The ethanolic extract of \textit{CPF}, when subjected to HPTLC profiling, revealed 42 compounds (Figure~\ref{f-f44e784f35cf}) at 366 nm with mobile phase Hexane: Ethyl acetate (8:2).
