PHYTO CHEMICAL SCREENING AND ANTI- OXIDANT ACTIVITY OF ETHANOLIC EXTRACT OF HELIOTROPIUM INDICUM
Journal Title: International Research Journal of Pharmacy (IRJP) - Year 2015, Vol 6, Issue 8
Abstract
The aim of the present study was to investigate phyto chemical screening and anti-oxidant activity of the ethanol extract of the whole plant of Heliotropium indicum. The ethanolic extract of the whole plant of Heliotropium indicum was studied for its anti-oxidant effect. During phytochemical screening flavonoids and phenols were found abundantly. Ethanolic extract of Heliotropium indicum was screened to evaluate free radical scavenging effect. The extract exhibited significant reducing power and free radical scavenging effect. This antioxidant activity was concentration dependant which was compared with standard antioxidant such as Ascorbic acid.
