In-vitro antioxidant and anti-inflammatory potential of ethanol extracts (root and aerial parts) of Barleria noctiflora
Journal Title: Annals of Plant Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 1
Abstract
Barleria noctiflora L.f. (Acanthaceae) is widely used as folk medicine. In the present study ethanol extracts of root and aerial parts of Barleria noctiflora were prepared using soxhlet extractor. Anti-oxidant potential was evaluated by free radical scavenging activity on DPPH and in vitro anti- inflammation activity of the selected samples stood determined by inhibition of protein denaturation experiment and inhibition of α-amylase studies. Among the root and aerial parts of Barleria noctiflora samples root sample shows significantly high level of antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity.
