Abstract
AbstractThe research aimed to identify the bioactive compounds present in Syzygium cumini seeds by GC-MS and to determine the antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial activities of seed extract. Phytochemical analysis revealed that phenols and flavonoids were more abundant in comparison to other compounds. The results of antioxidant activity as measured by DPPH assay and anti-inflammatory activity as measured by albumin denaturation assay revealed that the acetone extract exhibited significant antioxidant (inhibition % - 93.08 ± 0.43% and IC50 - 22.10 µg/mL) and anti-inflammatory activity (inhibition % 80.04 ± 0.52% and IC50 - 43.67 µg/mL). The extracts exhibited remarkable antibacterial activity with the zone of inhibition varying from 10.67 ± 0.75 to 16.67 ± 1.07 mm among which Staphylococcus aureus was more susceptible followed by Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus cereus, Enterococcus faecalis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Proteus vulgaris, Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae. GS-MS profiling revealed about 14 major bioactive compounds. S. cumini seed could be further utilized in pharmaceutical and food industries as a potent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial agent.Keywords: Anti-inflammatoryAntibacterialAntioxidantGC-MSPhytochemicalsSyzygium cuminiDisclaimerAs a service to authors and researchers we are providing this version of an accepted manuscript (AM).

期刊介绍:
Plant Biosystems is the research journal edited by the Società Botanica Italiana. Published three times a year, the journal is open to papers dealing with all aspects of plant biology, systematics, and ecology. Research studies containing novel and significant findings, from the molecular level to ecosystems and from micro-organisms to flowering plants, are welcome. Plant Biosystems succeeded " Giornale Botanico Italiano", the historical journal of the Società Botanica Italiana, from the year 1997.
Plant Biosystems has been conceived in consideration of the recent progress in botanical research. An editorial board has been devised to ensure that all the main trends of contemporary plant science are represented. Manuscripts are classified as ''Full Paper'', ''Rapid Report'' or ''Short Communication''. A Rapid Report is intended for publication, in a concise form, of new and relevant findings. The classification as Rapid Report is determined by the Editor. A Short Communication (no more than two printed pages) is for a concise but independent report. It is not intended for publication of preliminary results. Review articles are also published, but only upon invitation by the Editor. An international panel of highly qualified referees warrants the highest scientific standard.
