METHOD OF EXTRACTING KAEMPFEROL-BASED ANTIOXIDANTS FROM SOLENOSTEMMA ARGHEL

The method of extracting kaempferol-based antioxidants from Solenostemma arghel provides a method of producing medicinal antioxidants for usage as anti-inflammatory and analgesic treatments. The kaempferol-based antioxidants are primarily kaempferol-3,4'-diglucoside and kaempferol 3-rutinoside. The method includes the following steps: collecting aerial parts of Solenostemma arghel; drying the aerial parts; powdering the aerial parts; extracting the powdered aerial parts in ethanol and filtering to produce a filtrate; concentrating the filtrate to form a concentrated residue; dissolving the concentrated residue in water; and extracting the kaempferol-based antioxidant from the dissolved residue in ethyl acetate.
