Abstract

The study aimed to investigate genetic diversity, phytochemical composition, and bioactivity of Clinacanthus nutans collected from tree provinces of northern Thailand including Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, and Phayao using sequence-related amplified polymorphism (SRAP-PCR) technique. The data suggested that C. nutans could be clearly differentiated from those of the same family. Thin layer chromatography was performed to determine the major phytochemical composition in C. nutans extract. The results showed that the major composition in C. nutans extract was flavonoid. We investigated the bioactivity of the extracts. The results showed that the extracts of C. nutans taken from Chiang Mai possessed the highest antioxidant and antibacterial activity. A significant correlation was found between the antioxidant and antibacterial activity of extract and the highest amount of flavonoid content.
