Exploring the Therapeutic Potential of Ougeinia oojeinensis: A Comprehensive Analysis of Phytochemicals and Pharmacological Activities
Journal Title: Advances in Clinical Toxicology - Year 2024, Vol 9, Issue 2
Abstract
Ougeinia oojeinensis, a plant indigenous to South Asia, is gaining recognition for its potential therapeutic benefits, particularly in cancer treatment. This study offers a thorough investigation into the phytochemical composition and pharmacological activities of O. oojeinensis, focusing on its promising role in cancer therapy. Through various analytical techniques, including solvent extraction, thin-layer chromatography, and biological assays, we elucidate the presence of bioactive compounds and their antioxidant and anticancer properties. Our findings underscore the significance of O. oojeinensis as a potential source of novel therapeutic agents for cancer treatment. Keywords: Ougeinia oojeinensis; Phytochemical
