WITHDRAWN: The free radicals scavenging potential of methanol extract of seeds (Horse gram) of Macrotyloma uniflorum

Abstract

Abstract The oxidants are the most responsible for aging and other life-threatening health issues such as cancer, compromised immune system, etc. The maintenance of free radicals in human physic is an essential factor to attain an extended lifespan. Hence, this research was designed to assess the antioxidant competence of methanolic extract of horse gram (Macrotyloma uniflorum) against various oxidants such as ferric complex, DPPH, hydroxyl, and phosphomolybdenum complex. Methanolic extract of horse gram possesses ferric reducing components. Hence it reduce the ferric and FRAP complex as up to 98% (each) with the concentration of 150 µg mL−1 with the IC50 value of 64.859 and 71.255 µg mL−1 respectively. Similarly, the DPPH and phosphomolybdenum complex radicals were effectively scavenged (93.14% and 95.42%) at the concentration of 150 µg mL−1 with the IC50 value of 150 59.7585 and 59.772 µg mL−1, respectively. Furthermore, these radicals scavenging activities were statistically significant at P
