Photoprotective Potential, Cytotoxicity, and UPLC-QTOF/MS Analysis on Bioactive Solvent Fractions of Moringa concanensis Nimmo Bark

Table 3

The sun protection factor (SPF) value and UVB protection effect of the methanol extract and its fractions from the bark of M. concanensis.

Samples (200 μgml^−1)	SPF value	UVB protection (%)
Methanol	4.37 ± 0.17	>75
Hexane	5.49 ± 0.01	>75
Chloroform	10.50 ± 0.23^ns	>87
Ethyl acetate	5.18 ± 0.01	>75
Epigallocatechin gallate	10.34 ± 0.21	>87

Data are expressed as mean ± SD, n = 3. Data represent a significant difference at () value < 0.05, among different solvent fractions compared with the positive control (EGCG), using one-way ANOVA, followed by Dunnett’s test.
