Phytochemical and In-Vitro Evaluation of Antioxidant Activity of Sesamum Indicum Leaves
Journal Title: IP Archives of Cytology and Histopathology Research - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Objective: The aim of the present study was to evaluate preliminary phytochemicals and in-vitro evaluation of antioxidant activity of Sesamum indicum leaves. Methods: Antioxidant activity was evaluated by using in-vitro antioxidant assay models like hydrogen peroxide scavenging activity, reducing power assay and phosphomolybdenum method. All the antioxidant activities were compared with standard antioxidant such as ascorbic acid. Results: The ethanolic extract of Sesamum indicum leaves was found to contain flavonoids. Additionally, the capacity to scavenge hydrogen peroxide, the reducing power (capacity to reduce Fe3+ to Fe2+) and formation of phosphomolybdenum complex were evaluated. From this study it was concluded that the extract exhibited a concentration dependent scavenging activity
