Antioxidant activity and phytochemical screening of two Cucurbitaceae: Citrullus colocynthis fruits and Bryonia dioica roots

Conclusions The results indicate that the wealth of B. dioica roots extracts on polyphenols and flavonoids is more than C. colocynthis fruit extracts. These phytoconstituents ensure an interesting free radical scavenging activity and reducing power for the B. dioica roots extracts especially butanolic extract.
