EVALUATION OF ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVITY OF ETHANOL AND CHLOROFORM EXTRACTS OF WILD AND MICROPROPAGATED CLEOME VISCOSA LINN.
Journal Title: International Journal of Pharmacognosy - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 8
Abstract
Herbal medicines are now creature in modern dosage forms using modern manufacture in and processing techniques in pharmaceutical industry. Antioxidants assuage oxidative stress in cells and thereby help in the prevention and treatment of many diseases of humans. The aim of this study was to assess the antioxidant activity of ethanol and chloroform extracts of wild and micro-propagated Cleome viscosa. Antioxidant activity was performed by DPPH ((2, 2 – diphenyl 1, picryl hydrazyl) radical scavenging method for ethanol and chloroform extracts of wild and micro-propagated C. viscosa. The ethanol and chloroform extracts results were exhibited by strong antioxidant DPPH radical scavenging activity with percentage of antioxidant potential concentration wild and micro-propagated were found to be 77.74%, 76.45% and 63.54%, 55.16% respectively. The percentage was compare to positive standard compounds of ascorbic acid. The results were concluded that ethanol extracts possess effective antioxidant activity than that chloroform extracts.
