Bauhinia Pulchella Leaf Extracts: Phenolic Compounds and Antioxidant Activity

Three flavonoids—myricitrin, quercitrin, and afzelin—were identified for the first time in Bauhinia pulchella leaf extracts. The dataset likely contains quantitative results from antioxidant assays (DPPH, ABTS, nitric oxide, TBARS) and cytotoxicity tests on ethanol and aqueous extracts. Adonias Almeida Carvalho authored this research, which is available via Open Access on Papers with Code.

Use Cases

• Comparing the antioxidant potential of ethanol vs. aqueous extracts based on DPPH, ABTS, nitric oxide, and TBARS assay results mentioned in the description
• Identifying chemical markers for Bauhinia pulchella based on the flavonoid profiles (myricitrin, quercitrin, afzelin) described
• Screening plant extracts for cytotoxicity based on the reported inactivity in cytotoxicity assays
• Quantifying total phenolic content (TPC) and flavonoid content in polar plant extracts as described

Strengths

• Identifies three specific flavonoid compounds (myricitrin, quercitrin, afzelin) via NMR, providing concrete chemical data
• Compares antioxidant activity across multiple assay methods (DPPH, ABTS, nitric oxide, TBARS) for two extract types
• Reports the first occurrence of these flavonoids in Bauhinia pulchella, contributing novel phytochemical knowledge

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
