HPTLC plate was kept in CAMAG TLC Scanner 3 and the Rf values at fin- gerprint data were recorded by WlNCATS software, Aqueous extract of I. tinctoria reliably showed the total phenolics （267.2 ± 2.42 mg/g）, flavonoids （75.43 ± 3.36 mg/g） and antioxidants （349.11 ±8.04 mg/g）. The extract was found to have DPPH （52.08%）, NO （23.12%） and 02 （26.79%） scavenging activities at the concentration of 250 pg/mL and the results were statistically significant compared with ascorbic acid standard （p 〈 0.05）. HPTLC results confirmed that the extract contained several potential active com- ponents such as phenols, flavonoids, saponins and terpenoids as the slides revealed multi-colored bands of varying intensities. This study confirmed that the plant had multipotential antioxidant and free ra- dicals scavenging activities.展开更多
