How are medicinal plants extracted from Sudan?

Six medicinal plants from Sudan were extracted with solvents of different polarity. Total phenolic and flavonoid contents of extracts were analyzed. Extracts were evaluated for their free radical scavenging and enzyme inhibitory activities. Extraction solvents had variable effect on the content of secondary metabolites and bioactivities.

Does n-hexane methanol increase antioxidant activity in Sudanese medicinal plants?

The effect of maceration and Soxhlet successive extraction with n-hexane, chloroform and methanol were investigated on the antioxidant activity of five Sudanese medicinal plants.

Does extraction solvent affect phenolic and flavonoid metabolites?

However, there is no detailed report on the effect of extraction solvent on the secondary metabolite (phenolic and flavonoid) contents and different biological activities of extracts including antioxidant and enzyme inhibitory activities of the extracts of Sudanese medicinal plants.

How do solvents affect metabolites extracted from medicinal plants?

Solvents used during extraction process are reported to have an influence on the nature and the amount of secondary metabolites extracted from medicinal plants. For example, polar solvents are used to extract phenolic compounds, their glycosides, saponins, and non-polar solvents are used for the extraction of fatty acids and steroids.
