Excessive generation of oxidant species is a leading factor in the pathogenesis of several diseases and disorders. We investigated the phytochemicals and antioxidant activity of methanol, and chloroform fraction of the root bark of Brenania brieyi using standard in vitro
analytical methods. Our results show the percentage proximate composition as moisture (15.33 ± 3.03), ash (4.00 ± 0.02), crude fiber (7.60 ± 0.80), fats (2.00 ± 0.10), proteins (6.65 ± 0.35), and carbohydrate (64.00 ± 1.06). Total phenols were 547.67 ± 5.51; 522 ± 13.32 µg/100 g GAE and flavonoids were 62.60 ± 13.50; 8.29 ± 2.61 mg/100g for methanol, and chloroform fractions respectively. 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging activity in percentage (%) at 500 µg/mL was: 96.44 ± 0.79; 95.19 ± 1.98, and 54.56 ± 2.06 for methanol fraction, chloroform fraction, and ascorbic acid respectively. Percentage total antioxidant capacity was 85.33 ± 0.89; 54.79 ± 8.21; 65.17 ± 8.27 at 31.3 µg/mL but increased at 1000 µg/mL to 89.32 ± 4.26; 64.47 ± 6.60; 94.51 ± 4.08 for methanol fraction, chloroform fraction, and ascorbic acid, respectively. The reduction of ferric ions by methanol fraction was comparable to gallic acid. Methanol fraction portrayed better antioxidant potential in all the antioxidant models used as revealed from its IC50 values of 19.10 and 1.12 µg/mL compared with 26.00 and 11.74 5 µg/mL obtained in chloroform fraction in DPPH, and TAC assays respectively. Our results suggest that Brenania brieyi root bark possesses antioxidant activity, and maybe employed as drug target in averting oxidative stress complications.
