Abstract
In the current study, the bioactive compounds such as total phenols, flavonoids, hydrolyzable tannins, and gallic acid were extracted from the bark of Swietenia macrophylla using four different solvents such as ethanol, methanol, acetone, and water. Among them, acetone exhibited the highest contents of bioactive compounds. To optimize the extraction process, a statistical approach was adopted using the central composite design (CCD) of response surface methodology (RSM). The five parameters at five different levels were chosen in the design of the experiments. A total of 32 experimental runs given by the design were fitted into the second-order regression model equation. The analysis of the model shows the best fit of the experimental data with an R2 of 0.9971 and a model F-value of 191.73. The optimal conditions of acetone concentration (56 %), the volume of acetone (22 mL), agitation speed (173 rpm), extraction temperature (31 °C), and extraction time (28 h) were noted from desirability function and showed a 2.0-fold increase in the contents of bioactive compounds when compared to unoptimized conditions. Further, the antimicrobial activity of 5 % (w/v) extract was tested against two-gram positive strains Bacillus sp, and Staphylococcus aureus, and two-gram negative strains Escherichia coli, and S. marcescens. The extract exhibited the 21 mm and 18 mm clear zone of diameter with 5 mm standard disc against the gram-positive strains tested whereas no clear zone was found against gram-negative strains. Finally, the antioxidant property was electrochemically analyzed using cyclic voltammetry and Differential pulse voltammetry, which confirmed the presence of multiple antioxidants in the extract.
