Bioactivities of Mimosa pudica and Phyllanthus niruri Crude Extracts Collected from the Locality of Chaiyaphum, Thailand

Abstract:

Mimosa pudica and Phyllanthus niruri were used as the traditional medicines in Thailand. Both plants were very useful for various pharmacological and biological activities. In the present study, the bioactivities of Mimosa pudica and Phyllanthus niruri extracts were investigated. The amounts of total phenolic compounds were analyzed using gallic acid as standard compound and the antioxidant activities were evaluated using ABTS assay. The phenolic content of Mimosa pudica extracts revealed that AEE1 contained the maximum phenolic content and that of Phyllanthus niruri extracts exhibited the same result of maximum phenolic content in AEE2. The antioxidant activity were performed and found that WE1 from Mimosa pudica and WE2 from Phyllanthus niruri exhibited prominent ABTS radical scavenging activities. Interestingly, AEE1, AEE2 and EAE2 specifically exhibited the high cytotoxicity against the colon cancer cell line (SE620).
