Abstract
Objectives:Free radical induced oxidative stress is involved in the pathogenesis of various diseases and disorders. Antioxidants play an important role against this oxidative stress to protect our body. The present study was carried out to evaluate the in vitro antioxidant properties ofethanolic extract of myxopyrum serratulum (EEMS).
Methods:EEMS was assayed ondifferent in vitro free radical models like DPPH, suproxide radical scavenging assay, hydroxyl scavenging assay.
Result:The extract showed good antioxidant activity in in-vitro free radical scavenging models. Various concentrations ranging from 200 µg/ml and 400 µg/ml of ethanol extract of the leaves of M. serratulum were tested for their antioxidant activity in various in-vitro models. Free radicals were scavenged by the test compounds in a concentration dependent manner within the given range of concentration (IC50) in the DPPH (36.30 ± 1.47%), superoxide scavenging activity (55.30 ± 1.29%), and hydroxide scavenging activity (43.70 ± 2.43%).
Conclusion:All the results of the in vitro antioxidant assays revealed potent antioxidant and free radical scavenging activity of the ethanol extract of myxopyrum serratulum a.w.hill, equivalent to that of standard quercetin and this antioxidant property may be attributed to its high phenolic and flavonoid contents.
