The natural naphthopyranones paepalantine (1), paepalantine-9O-β-ᴅ-glucopyranoside (2) and paepalantine-9-O-β-ᴅ-allopyranosyl-(1→6)-O-β-ᴅ-glucopyranoside (3) were separated in a preparative scale from the ethanolic extract of the capitula of Paepalanthus bromelioides by high-speed counter-current chromatography (HSCCC). The solvent system used was composed of water-ethanol-ethyl acetate-hexane (10:4 : 10:4, v/v/v/v). This technique led to the separation of the three different naphthopyranone glycosides in pure form in approximately 7 hours. Paepalantine showed a good antioxidant activity when assayed by the DPPH radical spectrophotometric assay.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the antioxidant potential of Dodonaea viscosa Jacq. Methanolic extract of the plant was dissolved in distilled water and partitioned with n-hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate and nbutanol sequentially. Phytochemical screening showed presence of phenolics, flavonoides and cardiac glycosides in large amount in chloroform, ethyl acetate and n-butanol fraction. The antioxidant potential of all these fractions and remaining aqueous fraction was evaluated by four methods: 1,1-Diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging activity, total antioxidant activity, Ferric Reducing Antioxidant Power (FRAP) assay and ferric thiocyanate assay along with determination of their total phenolics. The results revealed that ethyl acetate soluble fraction exhibited highest percent inhibition of DPPH radical as compared to other fractions. It showed 81.14 ? 1.38% inhibition of DPPH radical at a concentration of 60 ?g/ml. The IC50 of this fraction was found to be 33.95 ? 0.58 ?g/ml, relative to butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), having IC50 of 12.54 ? 0.89 ?g/mL. It also showed highest FRAP value (380.53 ? 0.74 ?M of trolox equivalents) as well as highest total phenolic contents (208.58 ? 1.83 GAE ?g/g) and highest value of inhibition of lipid peroxidation (58.11 ? 1.49% at concentration of 500 ?g/ml) as compared to the other studied fractions.
