dc.description.abstractRanunculus macrophyllus Desf. is an Algerian medicinal plant whose roots are used in traditional medicine to cure feminine infertility and other diseases, however there are no studies regarding its phytochemistry and biological activities. The aim of this work is to study the phytochemical composition and antioxidant activity of different solvents fractions from the roots of Ranunculus macrophyllus Desf. Spectrophotometric and chromatographic methods were used to study the phytochemical composition; while antiradical, iron chelating ability, reducing power and lipid peroxidation were studied in-vitro. The ethyl acetate fraction showed the highest values of total phenolic compounds (271.0 ± 0.2 µg GAE/mg dry extract (d.e), flavonols (24 ± 5 µg RE/ mg d.e) and condensed tannins (129 ± 10 µg CE/mg d.e), while the hexane fraction contained the highest amount of triterpenoids (91 ± 7 µg UAE/mg d.e). The highest radical scavenging ability was recorded for the ethyl acetate fraction against DPPH (IC50 = 3.7 ± 0.1 µg/mL) and ABTS (IC50 = 81 ± 3 µg/mL) whereas the hexane fraction had the best hydrogen peroxide radical scavenging (IC50 = 380 ± 4 µg/mL). The ethyl acetate fraction had the best total antioxidant capacity (TAC = 361 ± 1 µAAE/ mg extract) and reducing power (310 ± 2 µAAE/mg extract). The β-carotene bleaching was inhibited at high rate even after 24 h by the ethyl acetate fraction (81.0 ± 0.5 %). All activities were correlated with the polyphenolic content of the fractions. Capillary LC-DAD and LC-MS/MS analysis of ethyl acetate fraction revealed high amounts of gallic acid (9.3 ± 0.6 mg/g d.e), dihydroxybenzoic acid (8.1 ± 0.2 mg/g d.e) and hesperidin (5.9 ± 0.6 mg/g d.e). With such high amounts of polyphenols and strong antioxidant activity Ranunculus macrophyllus Desf. roots could have a potential use in pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries.
