Evaluation of Total Phenolic Content, Free Radical Scavenging Activity, and Phytochemical Profiles of Medicinal Plants from Paschim Medinipur, West Bengal

Abstract

This research paper delves into the profound exploration of antioxidants and phytochemicals present in select plants indigenous to the Paschim Medinipur region of West Bengal. The study aims to unravel the hidden medicinal potential of these plants, contributing valuable insights to both pharmaceutical and environmental sectors. A systematic analysis is conducted to identify and quantify the antioxidant compounds and phytochemicals in the chosen plant species. The research adopts a multidisciplinary approach, incorporating advanced analytical techniques and methodologies to assess the antioxidant capacities and phytochemical profiles of the selected flora. Through meticulous experimentation, the study seeks to establish a comprehensive database detailing the diverse range of bioactive compounds present in these plants. Furthermore, the investigation considers the ecological context of Paschim Medinipur, acknowledging the potential impact of environmental factors on the synthesis of antioxidants in plants. This holistic approach not only contributes to the understanding of the therapeutic potential of local flora but also provides insights into the ecological adaptations of these plants in response to regional conditions. The findings of this research hold significant implications for the development of novel pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, and environmental conservation strategies. By shedding light on the antioxidant and phytochemical richness of Paschim Medinipur's plant biodiversity, this study strives to pave the way for sustainable and nature-inspired solutions for health and wellness.
