Extraction, characterization and purification of flavonoids from filicophytes
Plants are rich source of phytochemicals (flavonoids, terpenoids, alkaloids, phenols). These natural products have played a key role in pharma research, as many medicines are either natural products or derivatives.

Plants are rich source of phytochemicals (flavonoids, terpenoids, alkaloids, phenols). These natural products have played a key role in pharma research, as many medicines are either natural products or derivatives. The present study is the exploration of selected ferns (Drynaria rigidula, Chelianthes tenuifolia, Asplenium nidus, Dipteris conjugata and Antrophyum callifolium) as a new candidate of natural compounds. This was done through a series of plant extraction, characterization and purification protocols. The methanolic fern-extracts (MFEs) from all five ferns were subjected to determine total phenolic content (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC), antibacterial and antioxidant activities. TPC was determined following the Folin-Ciocalteu colorimetric method and TFC was determined using aluminium chloride colorimetric assay. Highest amount of TFC was noted in C. tenuifolia whereas best TPC was in D. rigidula. The MFEs of these ferns were assessed for antibacterial and antifungal activities by measuring inhibition zones against a panel of pathogenic bacterial and fungal strains using agar well diffusion method.
