Phytochemical Screening and Evaluation of In-vitro Antioxidant Activity, Total Phenolics and Total Flavonoids of Holarrhena Antidysentrica Leaf Extracts
نویسنده
چکیده
Preliminary phytochemical screening was carried out for pet ether, chloroform and ethanol extracts of Holarrhena antidysentrica leaves. The extracts showed the presence of various phytocompounds like alkaloids and flavonoids. In vitro antioxidant activity was carried out with all the three extracts using DPPH assay using ascorbic acid as a standard. All the extracts had shown significant antioxidant activity. The quantitative estimations showed that ethanolic extract contains higher total phenolic and flavonoid contents than the other extracts.
