Abstract

The current study was carried to make available phytochemical information and evaluation of antioxidant activity of Acampe praemorsa (Roxb.) Blatt. & McCann. The phytochemical analysis was carried out using procedures and quantified phenolic and alkaloid contents. The antioxidant activity was evaluated by in-vitro and in-vivo studies. The In-vitro antioxidant activity was carried on free radicals such as superoxide, hydroxyl DPPH, hydrogen peroxide, evaluation of reducing power. In-vivo study was carried on albino Wistar rats with different doses of extracts. The results provide that, A. praemorsa extracts have diversified phytochemicals in extracts like steroids, alkaloids, phenolics, glycosides, oils, quinones, tannins etc. The hydroalcoholic extract has more phenolic (26.80±0.51) and alkaloid (20.59±0.22) contents. The antioxidant activity results provide information that the extracts possess concentration dependent activity on tested free radicals. The hydroalcoholic extract has more protective nature against superoxide, DPPH, H2O2 free radicals and reducing power but ethyl acetate extract has more potential against hydroxyl free radical than hydroalcoholic extract. The extracts were found to be safe on toxic studies and In-vivo study results and they play significant role in controlling the oxidative enzymes such as catalase, superoxide dismutase, lipid peroxidation (malonaldehyde) in the body. Thus, it was determined that A. praemorsa have potential bioactive compounds and antioxidant activity.
