INTRODUCTION: Many medicinal plants are used as an alternative medicine for diseases, most of them are without side effects when compares with synthetic drugs. Identification of the chemical nature of phytoconstituents present in the medicinal plants will provide some information on the different functional groups responsible for their medicinal properties 1. The phytochemical analysis is a process of tracing phytoconstituents.
Hence, the plant authentication and phytochemical evaluation of an herbal drug is an essential criterion, before proceeding for its pharmacological and toxicological studies. Plants generally contain phytoconstituents like phenolics, flavonoids, glycosides, coumarins, saponins, terpenoids, alkaloids, which reveal their specific characteristic properties and attribute to their pharmacological properties 2. FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared) spectroscopy has played a remarkable role in the field of medicinal plant analysis. FTIR is one of the most widely used methods to identify the chemical constituents, functional groups, and the chemical structure of the constituents. The measurements made by FTIR were extremely accurate and reproducible 3.
According to the World Health Organization, medicinal plants are the best source to obtain a variety of medicinal drugs. Natural systems of treatment played significant protection and management against pathogens. Plant extracts highly involved in the inhibition of pathogens and improvement of quality and yield of health 4. The activities of free radicals have been implicated in aging, destruction of DNA, obstruction of arteries, cancer, strokes, cardiac and central nervous system (CNS) disorders which have led to an increase in the investigation of substances that can protect against these reactive oxygen species and thus may play a role in disease prevention 5. Oxidative stress is caused by the imbalance in the production of ROS, and the biological systems are damaged. High levels of oxidative stress can cause ATP depletion, necrosis, and apoptosis. Excess free radicals need to be either scavenged/neutralized or quenched. The most common naturally occurring antioxidants are Vitamin A (retinol), C (Ascorbic acid) and E (Tocopherol) and also polyphenols, flavonoids 6. Catalase, glutathione peroxidase, aldehydes dehydrogenases, and sulfiredoxin belong to the enzymatic antioxidants 7.
The plant Millettia pinnata belongs to the family Fabaceae. It contains several phytoconstituents belonging to category flavonoids and fixed oils. In traditional systems of medicine the Millettia pinnata plant is used for tumors, Piles, skin diseases, wounds, as anti-hepatoprotective 8, 9, antifungal 10, anti-hyperglycemia 11, 12, anti-arthritic activity 13, antioxidant 14, anti-ulcer 15, antifilarial 16, anti-nociceptive and antipyretic 17, anti-inflammatory 18, anti-plasmodial 19, anti-bacterial 20, analgesic 21. Roots and barks of Millettia pinnata are used externally for joint pain.
The aim of the present study was to evaluate phytochemical and FTIR spectrum analysis, total phenolic, and flavonoid quantification, in-vitro antibacterial and antioxidant activities of ethanolic root extract of Millettia pinnata.
MATERIALS AND METHODS:
Collection of Plant Materials: The roots of Millettia pinnata were collected from Agricultural fields, Mangalam, Tirupati. The collected plants were identified by Dr. Madhava Chetty, Botanist, Department of Botany, Sri Venkateswara University, Tirupati, deposited in herbarium with voucher specimen number 0127.
Preparation of Ethanolic Root Extract of Millettia pinnata: The dried roots were coarsely powdered, the root powder was extracted with ethanol in a Soxhlet apparatus for 6 h, the ethanolic root extract was concentrated under reduced pressure to yield a dark brown viscous mass (50g; 7.2% yield) was calculated 22.
Phytochemical Screening: The ethanolic root extract was subjected to various phytochemical tests to detect the presence of different phytoconstituents like alkaloids, glycosides, carbohydrates, proteins, amino acids, polyphenols, tannins, steroids, terpenoids, and saponins.
FTIR Spectrum Analysis: FTIR spectrum of ethanolic root extract of Millettia pinnata was recorded in KBr by a sophisticated computer-controlled FTIR BRUKER spectrometer with He- Ne Laser as reference 23 FTIR spectrum helps to identify the functional groups present in Millettia pinnata. The extract of Millettia pinnata was scanned at the spectral range of 4000-400 cm-1.
Determination of Total Phenolic Content: The total phenolic content of ethanolic root extract was determined using the Folin-ciocalteu colorimetric method 24. The extract (10-100 μg/mL) or standard solution of gallic acid (10-100 μg/mL) was added to 25 mL volumetric flask containing 9 mL of distilled deionized water. A reagent blank was prepared using distilled water instead of a sample. 1 mL of Folin-Ciocalteu phenol reagent was added to the mixture and shaken well. After 5 min, 10 mL of 7% aqueous sodium carbonate was added to the mixture.
The solution was diluted to 25 mL with double distilled water. After incubation for 90 min at room temperature, the absorption against prepared reagent blank was determined at 760 nm using a colorimeter. Quantification was done with respect to the standard gallic acid and expressed as gallic acid equivalents (GAE) in mg per gram of extract.
Total Flavonoid Content: The total flavonoid content of ethanolic root extract was measured using the aluminum chloride colorimetric method 25.
The extract (10-100 μg/mL) or standard solution of Rutin (10-100 μg/mL) was added to 10 mL volumetric flask containing 4 mL of double-distilled water. To the flask, 0.3 mL of 5% sodium nitrite solution was added. After 5 min, 0.3 mL of 10% aluminum chloride solution was added. At the 6th minute, 2 mL of 1M NaOH was added, and the total volume was made up to 10 mL with Double distilled water. The solution mixture was mixed well and absorbance was measured at 510 nm against blank in colorimeter. The total flavonoid content was expressed as Rutin equivalents in mg per gram of extract.
Antibacterial Activity: Antibacterial activity was examined for the ethanolic root extract of Millettia pinnata. Determination of antibacterial activity (zone of inhibition) of the extract against two pathogenic bacteria (gram-positive and gram-negative) was investigated by the agar disc diffusion method; streptomycin was taken as a standard antibiotic for comparison of the results 28.
The extract was screened for their antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The sets of six dilutions (10, 20, 40, 60, 80, 100 µg/mL) of Millettia pinnata root extract and standard drug (streptomycin) were prepared with distilled water. The sensitivities of the microorganism species to the plant extract were determined by measuring the sizes of inhibitory zones (including the diameter of the disc) on the agar surface around the discs.
In-vitro Antioxidant Activity:
DPPH Free Radical Scavenging Assay: Antioxidant activity of ethanolic root extract was determined using DPPH free radical scavenging activity 26. 1 mL of 0.1 mM solution of DPPH in methanol was added to 2.5mL of the test extract in methanol (10-100 µg/mL). The reaction mixture was then allowed to stand for 30 min at room temperature in a dark place. After 30 min, absorbance was measured at 517 nm using a colorimeter. Ascorbic acid was used as a standard. The scavenging activity of DPPH radical (%) was calculated using the following equation:
% Inhibition = [(A0 – A1)/A0] × 100
A0 - absorbance of control
A1 - absorbance of the test sample

Quantification of Total Phenolic Content: Quantification of total phenolic content of ethanolic root extract of Millettia pinnata was estimated by Folin ciocalteu’s method using gallic acid as standard. The reagent is formed after oxidation of the phenols, mixture of phosphotungstic acid and phosphomolybdic acid, which after oxidation of the phenols, is reduced to tungsten and molybdenum. The tungsten and molybdenum are reduced, then blue coloration produced. The blue color has maximum absorption in the region of 760 nm, and it is directly proportional to the total quantity of phenolic compounds originally present. The gallic acid solution of concentration conformed with a regression coefficient (R2) = 0.991. The plot has a slope (m) = 0.012 and intercept = 0.0925. The equation of the standard curve is y = mx+c Fig. 2.
