In:
International journal of pharmacy and pharmaceutical scienceSummary: Objective:
The main objective of this study was to evaluate the free radical scavenging activity of methanol
(70%)
and aqueous extract of
G.
montana
leaves
which is a
traditionally used herb known for
its hepatoprotective activity
.
Method
s:
The
in vitro
antioxidant
activity
of
G. montana
extract
was determined using
1, 1
-diphenyl
-2-picrylhydrazyl radical (DPPH)
,
2,2
′
-azin
obis
-
(3
-ethylbenzothiaziline
-6-sulfonate (ABTS), Hydrogen p
eroxide scavenging activity
, Superoxide anion radical scavenging activity and Reducing
Power ability at
three
different concentrations
(1.78μg
/ml
, 3.57μg/ml
and 7.14μg/ml
).
Result
s:
The
Result
s revealed similar observations
between the methanol and aqueous extract with respect to standard and showed potent
antioxidant activity. Ascorbic acid was used as
a standard
, which showed IC
50
Conclusio
n:
Findings
indicate
that this
plant is a good source of antioxidant and can be used for
the
treatment
of diseases as
such
medicinal plant
extracts are natural products and they are comparatively safe, eco
-friendly, less expensive and locally available. Hence, the validation of the effects
of these herbal remedies will have to be undertaken for
their wider acceptance.
