Evaluation of antioxidant activities and quantitative estimation of phytochemicals in Kandelia candel (L.) Druce

Kandelia candel, a mangrove belonging to the family Rhizophoraceae, whole plant is reported have anti-diabetic properties and was studied for evaluation of in vitro antioxidant antidiabetic study. Total Phenolic Content (TPC), Flavonoid (TFC) Alkaloid were quantitatively estimated by using standard protocols. The study evaluated activity extract method employed are DPPH radical scavenging assay, reducing power assay Phosphomolybdenum assay. Potent activities shown acetonitrile water leaf stem all assays. Acetonitrile bark showing highest (IC50 = 31.84 g/ml). Plant poor, power. better reduction molybdenum followed (617.33 ± 4.44). Chloroform, alpha-amylase inhibition Water show good inhibition. Highest TPC TFC obtained (237.6 1.06 1277.19 3.41). These findings that polyphenolic constituents extracts responsible free capacity. results this indicate medicinal with prominent activities.
