Abstract

Natural materials are complicated compositions; therefore, a rapid screening of the active antioxidants is being challenged in the literature. Different polarity solvents were applied to isolate four fractions (F1, F2, F3 and F4) of methanolic extract of Cuminum cyminum. Their anti-oxidative properties were tested using radical scavenging and FRAP assays. F3 (with IC50=0.006mg/mL and FRAP= 521.95 mmolFe2+/L) was significantly the most active fraction. Guided isolation through bio-autography on TLC using 1, 1- diphenyl- 2 – picryl- hydrazyl radical (DPPH) as a detection reagent led to the isolation of two antioxidant compounds from F3. F3 was injected to a preparative HPLC with the proper mobile phase (acetonitril: methanol/ water) and isolated two main compounds. These compounds were identified as Luteolin 7 glugoside and Apigenin 7 glucoside by means of 1HNMR and 13CNMR and compare them with references.
