In vitro antioxidant activity and total phenolic content of Digera muricata leaves

In the present study quantification of total phenolic content and evaluation in vitro antioxidant capability five different extracts Digera muricata was carried out by assays. DPPH radical, superoxide hydroxyl radical scavenging activity metal chelating were calculated compared with standard antioxidants. Reducing power extract also determined. All showed good free ability which gets enhanced increasing concentration. Methanolic possessed highest it has maximum (41.87 mg/g GAE). Significant correlation observed between assays indicating that phenolics may be contributing towards activity. The results conclude D. are a potential source natural antioxidants could show promise as therapeutic agent preventing progression oxidative stress related degenerative disorders.
