COMPARATIVE IN-VITRO EVALUATION OF VITEX LEUCOXYLON LINN. BARK FOR ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVITY
AbstractCellular damage arising from free radical is one of the fundamental mechanism underlying a number of human neurodegenerative disorder like diabetes, inflammation, Alzheimer’s disease, autoimmune pathologic and digestive system disorder. Thus antioxidant plays an important role in the treatment of such disease.

Vitex leucoxylon Linn. a medicinal plant of the verbenaceae family, used in traditional medicine for relieving headache and catarrh. HIME was 1.8964 μg/ml after 48 h of incubation. In this study, it was observed that HIME induces a concentration dependent inhibition of HT29 cells, with an IC50 value of 1.8964 μg/ml after 48 h of incubation.
