Caffeoyl-β-d-glucopyranoside and 1,3-dihydroxy-2-tetracosanoylamino-4-(E)-nonadecene isolated from Ranunculus muricatus exhibit antioxidant activity
Journal: Scientific Reports
Year: 2019

This study evaluates the antioxidant activity of Ranunculus muricatus and isolation and structure elucidation of the active constituents. The aerial parts of the plants were shade dried at room temperature and powdered and extracted with methanol. The free radical scavenging activity was evaluated by 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH) assay. The percentage scavenging activity was determined based on the percentage of DPPH radical scavenged. Column chromatography was used in order to isolate t
