Phytochemical analysis and antioxidant efficacy of Chrysojasminum fruticans (L.) Banfi in Syrian flora.

ABSTRACT: This study investigates the antioxidant properties of Chrysojasminum fruticans (L.) Banfi through a series of assays to measure the total phenolic content (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC), and free radical scavenging activity using the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay, to ensure that it can be used as an antioxidant drug. The TPC, TFC and DPPH assay were performed using spectrophotometric method, and in terms of a linear standard curve for gallic acid, Quercetin, Vitamin C respectively. The. aqueous extract of the flowers exhibited the highest concentration of phenolics, reaching 81.9 mg GAE (Gallic Acid Equivalent) per gram of (Dry Extract) DE, Conversely the ethanolic extract from the fruits demonstrated the lowest phenolic content, with a mere 0.249 (mg GAE/g DE). t
