Oxalis Corniculata Extract Bioactivity Measurements

Quantitative phytochemical and bioactivity data for a 70% ethanolic extract of Oxalis corniculata. The dataset includes IC50 values for DPPH radical scavenging (40.74 µg/ml), acetylcholinesterase inhibition (34.54 µg/ml), butyrylcholinesterase inhibition (8.91 µg/ml), and α-glucosidase inhibition (40.59 µg/ml).

Use Cases

• Comparing the anti-cholinesterase activity of Oxalis corniculata to other plant extracts based on reported IC50 values.
• Analyzing the correlation between phytochemical content (tannins, flavonoids, phenolics) and antioxidant potential based on DPPH scavenging results.
• Evaluating the antibacterial spectrum of the extract based on its reported inhibition against E. coli, H. influenza, and K. pneumoniae.
• Assessing the selectivity of Monoamine Oxidase inhibition based on the differing IC50 values for MAO-A and MAO-B.

Strengths

• Contains specific quantitative measurements, including phytochemical concentrations (e.g., tannins at 586 ± 0.05 µg/mg) and IC50 values for multiple enzyme assays.
• Results are derived from standard laboratory methods (spectrophotometry, DPPH scavenging, Elman’s method, fluorometric tests) as described.
• Dataset is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is very small (9.5 KB), indicating limited scope and likely a single experimental series.
