progesterone and acts as an intermediary in
androgen biosynthesis, estrogen, corticoids 1 and in
the synthesis of vitamin D and Stigmasterol has also
been investigated for its pharmacological prospects
such as antiosteoarthritis, antihypercholestrolemic,
cytotoxic, antitumor, hypoglycemic, antimutagenic,
antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory (Chaudhary et
al., 2011).
4 CONCLUSIONS
Crude ethanol extract of Musa paradisiaca Linn
from 250 g of dried powder phytochemical
screening test was carried out and continued with
compound analysis by GC-MS. Some active
compounds are obtained which are thought to be
very beneficial for biological activities. The
presence of antioxidant activity extracts has been
evaluated. As far as we know, this research is the
first report on the bioactivity of plant ethanol extract
Musa Paradisiaca Linn Further phytochemical
research is needed to identify the active principle
responsible for activity antioxidant. This
investigation presents sufficient data about
phytochemical constituents in one polar solvent.
Bioactive compounds found in the stem of Musa
paradisiaca Linn plant hope to be applied as natural
antioxidants and can be extrapolated for clinical
studies.
