Evaluation of in Vitro antioxidant activity of a triterepne isolated from Madhuca Longifolia L leaves

Abstract

Objective: To evaluate methanolic extract and dMA of Madhuca longifolia L leaves for possible antioxidant potential. Methods: In vitro antioxidant activity of the methanolic extract and dMA was evaluated by using Reducing power assay, Super anion scavenging activity, Hydroxyl scavenging activity. Result: MLME and dMA effectively scavenged free radicals at ll different concentrations showed its potent antioxidant activity. Further, these effects were in a dose dependent manner. Results were compared to standard antioxidant such as butylated hydroxyl anisole. Conclusion: The result indicated that Madhuca longifolia L leaves has significant natural radical scavengers.
