The study presented that power of fractions from roots of R. hastatus to scavenge DPPH radicals was associated with phytochemicals extracted by different solvents indicating that BRR and MRR can also possibly act as primary antioxidant.
The carbohydrate metabolism enzyme inhibition potentials of plants are associated with presence phytochemicals like phenol and their polyphenolic derivatives like flavonoids, tannins [27].
Currently, there are more than 8800 non-redundant 3D structures of phytochemicals associated with 1116 Taiwan indigenous plants.
However, it is now apparent that this receptor plays a critical endogenous role in cellular homeostasis and multiple diseases and binds not only toxicants but also endogenous biochemicals, dietary flavonoids and several phytochemicals associated with health benefits, other synthetic/industrial chemicals, and many pharmaceuticals [ 5- 7].
Several studies reported that the antioxidant activity of herbs is significantly associated with their phytochemical content, especially that of flavonoids and phenolic acids [38 40].
Published studies have shown that the genus is a rich source of pterocarpans, flavonoids, particularly prenylated isoflavonoids and flavonoids [2, 3, 4, 5] and these phytochemicals are associated with a broad spectrum of biological activities, including insecticidal, antimicrobial, cytotoxic, and antioxidant activities [3, 4, 5, 6, 7].
The dark green of spinach and deep red of raspberries are produced by phytochemicals that are associated with better heart health and lower rates of cancer, prompting the common advice to "eat your colors".
