INVESTIGATION OF IN-VITRO ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVITY OF MESUA FERREA L. SEED OIL
AbstractThe paper describes the in-vitro antioxidant activity of seed oil extracted from seeds of Mesua ferrea L. The plant extract has been found to possess various pharmacological activities which have been proved scientifically based on the ethnomedical data. The in-vitro antioxidant activity of M. ferrea seed oil (MFSO) was evaluated. The EC50 values of free radical scavenging activity (10.25 µg/ml), ABTS+ (652.5025 µg/ml) discoloration assay and nitric oxide scavenging activities (13.17 25 µg/ml) and determination of total phenolic content (121.5 µg GAE/ml), total antioxidant content 241.25 µg GAE/ml and total flavonoids content (66 µg QE/ml) in MFSO indicated its potential antioxidant activity.
