Abstract

Swallow root (Decalepis hamiltonii) was extracted for free (SRFP), conjugated (SRCP) and insoluble-bound phenolic acids (SRIBP), and evaluated for cytoprotectivity, 1,1,diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) scavenging ability, reducing power and protection to DNA damage. In addition, the constituent phenolic acids in the extracts were also analysed. Results indicated a total phenol content of 20.72, 7.97 and 11.52 mg gallic acid equivalents (GAE)/g for SRFP, SRCP and SRIBP extracts, respectively. At 0.12 lg/mL concentration SRCP showed 87% cytoprotection (on NIH 3T3 cells) compared to SRFP (47%) and SRIBP (65%). DPPH radical scavenging activity indicated an IC50 of 0.046, 0.06 and 0.128 lg/mL for SRCP, SRIBP and SRFP, respectively. Also, SRCP showed higher reducing power and DNA protectivity (80%). HPLC analysis of phenolic acid extracts showed the presence of hydroxybenzoate and cinnamate derivatives. Among the phenolics identified gallic, gentisic, protocatechuic and p-coumaric acids were the major contributors to antioxidant activity.
