Qin, Yu; Tang, You-Yi; Cai, Min; Liu, Xu published the artcile< Chemical Composition, Antibacterial and Antioxidant Activities of the Essential Oil of Justicia procumbens>, Computed Properties of 112-63-0, the main research area is Justicia essential oil chem composition antibacterial antioxidant activity.
Justicia procumbens L., an annual plant belonging to the Acanthaceae family, has been used for treating fever, pharyngolaryngeal pain, and cancer as a valuable traditional Chinese medicine. Since no research has until now been done on the constituents and pharmacol. activities of the essential oil obtained from the aerial parts of J. procumbens (JPEO), the aim of this study is to identify the composition of JPEO and evaluate its antibacterial and antioxidant activities. The essential oil was extracted from the plant samples by hydrodistillation for 3.5 h using a Clevenger apparatus The GC/MS anal. indicated that the J. procumbens essential oil contained 47 constituents representing 95.7% of the total content . DPPH, ABTS, and FRAP tests were applied to determine the antioxidant activity of the essential oil. The essential oil of J. procumbens possessed moderate ABTS scavenging activity and weak DPPH radical scavenging activity with IC 50 values of 0.141 ± 0.018 mg/mL and 0.522 ± 0.046 mg/mL, resp. In the FRAP assay, the ferric ion reducing capacity of the essential oil was determined to be 61.26 ± 3.35 μ mol Trolox x g-1 EO.
Chemistry of Natural Compounds published new progress about Antibacterial agents. 112-63-0 belongs to class esters-buliding-blocks, and the molecular formula is C19H34O2, Computed Properties of 112-63-0.
