Antioxidants and Antibacterial Potential of Extracts of Rhizome of Doronicum hookeri

Abstract

Infection is the ability of any microbe to interact with the immune system, which may result in any adverse or harmful impact on human organs. Contagious diseases are those brought on by infections. Both chronic and acute infections are possible. This study is based on the plant Doronicum hookeri's antioxidant and anti-microbial activities. This plant has a wide range of actions, including tonic effects on the heart, nervous system, liver, and antioxidant, antifungal, and antibacterial properties. The dried rhizome was used to extract the active constituents using methanol as solvent. Doronicum hookeri's methanolic extract was discovered to have strong free radical scavenging and anti-microbial activity in in vitro testing. Lead, Cadmium, Mercury, and Arsenic underwent estimated toxicological activities for heavy metals by AAS, and values were obtained. Since neither pesticides nor aflatoxin were present, it was determined that the plant had not been treated with either substance.
