Acute Toxicity and Antioxidant Activity of Algerian Citrus deliciosa

Our phytochemical study focused on the leaves of Citrus deliciosa Algerian origin, in order to evaluate its antioxidant activity and acute toxicity, using scavenger DPPH radicals, ABTS toxicity. The ethanol extract contains 85.62 ± 2.24 μg /mg dried matter 3.02 0.17 μg/mg matter. was confirmed against radical (IC50 = 252.07 0.02 /mL) 398.26 0.01 /mL). No mortality or abnormal behavior observed mice at oral doses less 1600 mg/kg. According results obtained, exhibit significant are safe levels lower than mg/kg B.W., which supports their application phytotherapy, pharmaceutical biotechnology, food sector for therapeutic preventive purposes.
