Journal Title: The Journal of Phytopharmacology - Year 2014, Vol 3, Issue 6
Abstract
Under most pathological conditions there is generation of reactive oxygen species and other free radicals. An increase in the antioxidant reserves of the organism can reduce oxidative stress and some of the plant-derived Drug may help to reduce it. Poorna chandrodayam chendooram are extensively used in Indian traditional medicine. In the present study we have examined the in vitro antioxidant activity of Drug. The antioxidant activities of different concentrations of Drugs were determined by Total polyphenolic content, Ascorbic acid, Total flavonoids, DPPH Radical Scavenging activity, Hydroxyl Radical Scavenging Activity and Nitric Oxide Scavenging activity. The effective antioxidant activity of Poorna chandrodayam chendooram has found increased with increasing concentration.
