Abstract

It is known that some members of the
genus Convolvulus L. are commonly used in Turkish folk
medicine. These species are powerful in curing the toothache and joint pains. This
study was focused on the determination of the total phenolic, flavonoid and
saponin contents of the different solvent (methanol, acetone and petroleum
benzine) extracts of C. phrygius as well as its
antioxidant activity. Folin-Ciocalteu
assay, aluminium colorimetric and vanillin-sulphuric acid method were used to
detect total phenolic, flavonoid and saponin contents in the extracts,
respectively. The
antioxidant activities were determined by using ABTS, NO, FRAP, phosphomolybdenum, and
metal chelating methods. The methanol extract of C. phrygius
demonstrated highest antioxidant and total phenolic, flavonoid and saponin
content. Our results showed that C. phrygius could
be accepted as a novel and alternative natural antioxidant source. Further
studies should be carried out on the identification of responsible active
components.
