Ethnopharmacology, Antioxidant Activities, and Phytochemical Screening of Bioactive Extracts from the Seeds of Alangium Salvifolium, A Medicinal Plant

Abstract

Phytochemical with antioxidant properties have great potential to combat plant and human diseases. This study aims to analyze the effects of different phytochemical constituents on different solvents on their extraction yield and also to determine the bioactive phytochemical and the amount of antioxidant activity of Alangium salvifolium seeds. For this study, the seeds of Alangium salvifolium were extracted, analyzed for phytochemical constituents, and evaluated for their antioxidant activity. Chemical analysis of phytochemical constituents was performed according to standard protocols. The antioxidant capacity of the plant extracts was measured using several in vitro techniques, including the DPPH radical scavenging assay and SOS activity. The plant extracts were subjected to phytochemical screening to determine their potential for antioxidant activity and the presence of bioactive components. The results of the current study show the ethanolic extract of Alangium salvifolium seeds showed remarkable antioxidant properties. Alangium salvifolium is a remarkable medicinal plant that contains a variety of bioactive secondary plant compounds and can be used to prevent several diseases. Recent research suggests that plant-derived antioxidants that scavenge free radicals may be useful in treating chronic diseases caused by free radicals.
