Abstract
Plant species always remain a backbone for the discovery of active biomolecules required for public health. The existing scrutiny is outlined to dissect the chemical nature and explore the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory strength of methanol extract of aerial parts of Lindernia antipoda by in vitro methods. The basic phytochemical evaluation of the extract reflected the existence of essential nitrogenous and phenolic bio-compounds. UV-visible and FTIR (Fourier Transform-Infrared Spectroscopy) spectral analysis supported the chemical nature of reflected compounds. The antioxidant capability was noticed through nitric oxide scavenging assay and ABTS [2,2’-azinobis-(3- ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid)] radical cation scavenging assay while anti-inflammatory competence was examined through the stabilization approach of human erythrocytes membrane against heat-induced membrane lysis. The methanol extract showed nitric oxide scavenging and ABTS radical cation scavenging by IC50 values of 398.38 μg/mL and 513.30 μg/mL respectively while anti-inflammatory activity was observed with the IC50 value of 573.01 μg/mL. The outcomes of each activity of methanol extract are presumably linked to the essential bioactive chemical substances in the extract
