The aim of the present research work was to determine the antidiabetic, analgesic, antioxidant and antimicrobial potentials of fruits and shoots of broccoli. Methods: In this study, antidiabetic activity was investigated using alloxan induced diabetic model. Analgesic activity was manifested using acetic acid-induced writhing reflex. Antioxidant activity was evaluated by DPPH scavenging method while antimicrobial activity screening was carried out by disc diffusion method. Results: Qualitative phytoanalysis of methanol extracts assured the existence of flavonoids and tannins etc. Moreover, it contains mild antibacterial and antioxidant activity where IC50 of the extract is 1424.30µg/ml. It also contains slightly analgesic and antidiabetic activity. Conclusion: Our results recommend that presence of flavonoids and tannins renders Brassica oleracea L. var. italic with therapeutic potential for oxidative stress and inflammation associated disorders. |
