Evaluation of Antiviral, Antibacterial and Antioxidant Activity of Morinda tinctoria Roxb., Abroma augusta L. Educes and Myristica fragrans Houtt. Ethereal Oil in Microcapsules

Abstract

Viruses and bacteria can interfere with human functioning; scientists are always looking for new ways to harness the healing power of plants. There is potential for a new type of medicine to be developed from plant materials rich in biologically active chemicals. The purpose of this research was to create microcapsules and scrutinize the biological outcomes of a variation of plant educes and ethereal oils. Using chromatographic techniques, we identified the primary components of the educe and ethereal oil, measured the antioxidant activity spectrophotometrically, tracked the development of 09 different infectious agents, and calculated the antiviral result on coronavirus-contaminated avian cells. The extract of Abroma augusta L. demonstrated the highest levels of antioxidant and antiviral activity (27.28 – 0.32 and 642.54 – 9.12 g TE/g dw via DPPH and ABTS techniques, correspondingly). The FRAP assay found that Morinda tinctoria Roxb. extract had the highest antioxidant activity (685.72 – 4.65 mg FS/g dw) and showed antibacterial activity against gram-positive pathogens. Excipients and their quantities were crucial to the emulsion’s consistency. The diameter of the enlarged microcapsules containing educes and ethereal oil was greater than twice in intestinal media and less than half that in gastric media, with a starting diameter of 1.86 mm.
