Mankind has always depended on medicinal plants for eradication and management of diseases
In our qualitative antioxidant assay, the extract spotted Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) plates were kept under UV light at 254 and 366 nm
The plates were sprayed with previously prepared 0.2% diphenyl-1-picryl hydrazyl (DPPH) solution that resulted in the development of yellow colors which indicated the presence of antioxidant compounds
Summary
Mankind has always depended on medicinal plants for eradication and management of diseases. The reddish brown fruits are orange shaped.[1,2] The main medicinal ingredient- chaulmoogra is extracted from the seeds which are used to treat different types of diseases such as scabies, eczema, psoriasis, scrofula, ringworm, and intestinal parasitic worms.[2] Besides the oil, its leaves, fruits and barks are used in the traditional medicinal system for their analgesic, purgative, antioxidant, antidiabetic, haematinic and cytotoxic properties.[2] Different cyclopentenyl fatty acid derivatives such as hydnocarpic acid, chaulmoogric acid, gorlic acid along with oleic acid, palmitic acid, myristic acid, stearic acid, palmitoleic acid, linoleic acid, linolenic acids, gallic acid, hydnocarpin were isolated from various parts of this plant.[1,3] Following the review of its traditional uses, we selected its leaves to quantify the antioxidative components, radical scavenging properties and evaluate its different
