| Popis: | Antioxidants are important to fight cellular stress-a primary cause of the majority of the chronic illness. Natural antioxidants are always preferable over synthetic due to the advantages such as safety. In the current investigation, two plants Ceiba speciosa and Leucas Cephalotes were selected, extracted using various solvents and also subjected to preliminary phytochemical analysis. The extracts were also screened for total phenolic content, total flavonoid content, total condensed tannin content by using standard models. These extracts were then investigated for the Invitro antioxidant activity evaluation using DPPH assay, nitric oxide free radical assay, reducing power assay and total antioxidant assay. The results suggest that the percentage yield is high for methanol extracts and also has better secondary metabolites. The Invitro antioxidant activity results for the extracts reveal that the methanol extract is considerably potent to neutralize the free radicals and produced better results when compared to the standard values. This declares the protective effect of the plants towards the diseases that are associated with cellular stress. |
