EVALUATION OF ANTIOXIDANT PROPERTIES OF OCIMUM AMERICANUM L. SEEDS
Journal Title: Journal of Pharmaceutical and Scientific Innovation - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 6
Abstract
The present study was aimed at the evaluation of antioxidant activity of methanolic extract of seeds of Ocimum americanum L. The methanolic extract of Ocimum americanum L. showed antioxidant properties by scavenging the free radicals by nitric oxide method and DPPH (1, 1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl) method and showed maximum percentage of inhibition when compared to the standard drug, Ascorbic acid. It is concluded that the seeds of Ocimum americanum L. possess significant antioxidant properties by effective scavenging properties. As it was found useful in reducing infections, more studies may be performed to bring it in to the market as a formulation after proper clinical trials.
