- Abstract
The present study aims to determine the chemical composition of Mahonia leschenaultii (Wallich ex Wight & Arnott) Takeda collected in Ooty region (Nilgiris), have a phytochemical profile, anti-bacterial and to evaluate its antioxidant activity. The phytochemical screening helped us to highlight the presence of carbohydrates, proteins and amino acids, alkaloid, saponins, phenolic compounds, tannins, glycosides, flavonol glycosides and phytosterol. It showed that the ethanolic extract was very rich in total phenols (283.33 mg GAE/100 g), tannin (261.11 mg GAE/100 g) and flavonoid (56.51 mg RE/100 g). Moreover, ethanol extract exhibited good antibacterial activity against Klebsiella pneumonia (21.33 mm), Staphylococcus aureus (20.29 mm) and the ethyl acetate extract of fruit was also found as an antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli (23.23 mm), Salmonella typhimurium (22.27 mm) Bacillus subtilis (22.63 mm), at 20 mg/ml concentration. Ethyl acetate extract of fruit responded well against DPPH (21.03 µg/L), ABTS (62013.89 µM TE/g extracts), phosphomolybdenum (442.87 mg AAE/g extract) and superoxide (35.15 %). These results suggested that M. leschenaultii fruit extract, especially ethanol and ethyl acetate extract, is not only an important source of antioxidants, which possess a high potential source of antibacterial components.
