ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study is to quantify the polyphenolic
content and evaluated anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activity of four plants
extracts of Annona senegalensis, Ipomoea batatas, Terminalia superba and Psidium guajava. Phenolic and flavonoid
contents were determined by Folin-Ciocalteu and aluminum trichloride methods, respectively
with ethanolic extract. The antioxidant activity was accessed by DPPH and FRAP methods.
The results of the analysis of this study indicate that the ethanol extracts of
the test plants (A. senegalensis, I. batatas, P. guajava and T. superba)
are potential source of natural antioxidant and anti-inflammatory.
