Phytochemical and Bioactivity Data for Arbutus unedo L. Leaf Extracts

23 bioactive compounds, including chlorogenic acid and cynaroside, were identified in the leaf extract of the medicinal plant Arbutus unedo L. The dataset includes quantitative measurements of total phenolic content (177.44 µg GAE/mg), flavonoid content (97.41 µg QE/mg), antioxidant IC50 values, and antibacterial MIC values. This research data, authored by Ilyes El Hocine Nouar, was uploaded to figshare in May 2026.

Use Cases

• Correlating specific phytochemicals with antioxidant activity based on LC-MS/MS and DPPH/ABTS assay results.
• Screening plant extracts for antibacterial potential based on reported MIC values against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.
• Validating traditional medicinal uses of plants by quantifying bioactive compounds like phenolic and flavonoid content.

Strengths

• Includes specific quantitative results, such as an IC50 of 16.73 µg/mL for DPPH antioxidant activity.
• Identifies 23 specific bioactive compounds, including chlorogenic acid and quinic acid.
• Provides MIC values for antibacterial activity, ranging from 12.5 to 25 mg/mL.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The dataset is small (948.2 KB), indicating a limited scope focused on a single plant species.
