Comparative Assessment of the Antioxidant Potential of Different Parts of Delonix regia

Abstract

The flamboyant tree, or Delonix regia, has attracted a lot of interest due to the widespread belief that it can be used as a powerful antioxidant. The search for natural antioxidants has taken on paramount relevance as the world faces increasing health problems attributed to oxidative stress. D. regia, a native of Madagascar, can be found all across the tropics and subtropics and is highly regarded for its medicinal value and beautiful red flowers. The complex phytochemical composition of D. regia includes a number of bioactive compounds that might prevent oxidative damage to biomolecules. Flavonoids, tannins, phenolic acids, carotenes, and tocopherols are all examples of these substances. The antioxidant action of different parts of D. regia is comprehensively examined and clarified in this work, from its broad scope in direct radical scavenging to its fine-tuning of endogenous antioxidant enzymes. The antioxidant capabilities of D. regia have been studied for their potential to address a broad spectrum of illnesses and health conditions, such as cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, neurological disorders, and a number of skin issues. The importance of utilizing nature’s bounty in the hunt for novel remedies to oxidative stress-related illnesses is underscored by this study’s addition to the growing body of knowledge concerning the antioxidant effects of D. regia. Further research is recommended to explore the pharmacological properties of D. regia to fully harness its medicinal potential for the advancement of human health and well-being.
