In vitro antioxidant activity of Alphonsea sclerocarpa has been investigated by DPPH [1,1-diphenyl, 2-picryl-hydrazyl] free radical and Hydroxyl radical scavenging activity. The ethanolic extracts of Alphonsea sclerocarpa has showed the significant free radical scavenging property by inhibiting the DPPH free radical and was evaluated by comparing with standard Curcumin and ascorbic acid. The ability of Alphonsea sclerocarpa bark extracts to inhibit the hydroxyl free radical production has also been evaluated and compared with standards Vitamin E and Catechin, which found to very promising results.

Abstract


In vitro antioxidant activity of Alphonsea sclerocarpa has been investigated by DPPH [1,1-diphenyl, 2-picryl-hydrazyl] free radical and Hydroxyl radical scavenging activity. The ethanolic extracts of Alphonsea sclerocarpa has showed the significant free radical scavenging property by inhibiting the DPPH free radical and was evaluated by comparing with standard Curcumin and ascorbic acid. The ability of Alphonsea sclerocarpa bark extracts to inhibit the hydroxyl free radical production has also been evaluated and compared with standards Vitamin E and Catechin, which found to very promising results.
