Antibacterial and Antioxidant Activities of Isolated Compounds from Prosopis africana Leaves

Table 2

Antioxidant activities (EC₅₀ and GEAC in μg/mL) of extracts and compound 2 from Prosopis africana.

Extracts/compounds	DPPH free radical scavenging activity (EC50)	Gallic acid equivalent antioxidant capacity (GEAC)
MeOH extract	93.66 ± 0.94^a	43.41 ± 0.79^a
EtOAc extract	77.56 ± 1.62^b	36.58 ± 84^b
2	5.67 ± 0.73^c	89.28 ± 0.74^c
Vitamin C	1.29 ± 0.33^d	—

EC₅₀: equivalent concentrations of test samples scavenging 50% of DPPH radical. Data represent the mean ± SD of three independent experiments carried out in triplicate. In the same column, values earmarked by different superscript letters (a–d) are significantly different according to one-way ANOVA and Waller-Duncan test; .
