Comparative In vitro Free Radical Scavenging Activity of some Indigenous Plants
نویسندگان
چکیده
In present study, the comparative in vitro free radical scavenging activities of methanol extracts from three indigenous medicinal plants viz. Amla, Bitter gourd and Neem were evaluated by 1, 1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazil (DPPH) radical scavenging method. Ascorbic acid was used as the reference. All of the plant extracts exhibited promising antiradical effects in a concentration dependent manner. Bitter gourd was found to be most active followed by Neem and Amla showing almost similar activities.

Background & Aim: Medicinal plants can be a good replacement for common cancer treatment including chemotherapy, radiation therapy and surgery because they don’t have many side effects. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of temperature on the free radical scavenging in the presence of medicinal plants. Experimental: For determination of free radical scavenging activity was use...
