Oxalis Corniculata Extract Phytochemical and Bioactivity Measurements

Quantitative measurements of tannin (586 ± 0.05 µg/mg), flavonoid (154.83 ± 0.04 µg/mg), and phenolic (135.29 ± 0.01 µg/mg) content in a 70% ethanolic extract of Oxalis corniculata. The dataset, authored by Inayat Ullah and last updated in 2026, includes IC50 values for DPPH radical scavenging (40.74 µg/ml), α-glucosidase inhibition (40.59 µg/ml), and inhibition of Acetylcholinesterase, Butyrylcholinesterase, and Monoamine oxidase isoforms, alongside antibacterial activity results against specific pathogens.

Use Cases

• Comparing antioxidant efficacy based on DPPH radical scavenging IC50 values
• Evaluating antibacterial potential against specific bacterial strains like E. coli and K. pneumoniae
• Screening for enzyme inhibitors based on IC50 values for α-glucosidase, cholinesterases, and MAO isoforms
• Correlating phytochemical composition (tannin, flavonoid, phenolic content) with measured bioactivities

Strengths

• Specific quantitative results are provided, including IC50 values and phytochemical concentrations with standard deviations
• The description details multiple standardized laboratory methods (spectrophotometric, DPPH scavenging, well-diffusion, Elman’s method) used to generate the data

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 very small (5.5 KB), indicating limited scope
