| Description |
The present study was aimed to evaluate the antioxidant activity of A.sessilis
plant extracts in different solvents. The antioxidant activity was studied by
phosphomolybdate method and DPPH method. In phosphomolybdate method
the highest activity was shown by methanolic extract (12.044 mM of ascorbic
acid eqvt/gm of sample). The highest radical scavenging activity by DPPH method
was found in methanol extracts (IC 50 587.093µg/ml). Ferrous chelating activity,
superoxide radical scavenging activity, nitric oxide radical scavenging activity was
found high in acetone, acetone and methanol extracts respectively. Total
Flavonoids and crude phenolics were found to be 0.370 mg/gm dry wt. and
1.529 mg/gm dry wt. respectively. The antioxidant activity increases with
increase in the concentration. This study indicates that A.sessilis is a potential
source of natural antioxidant.
