Antioxidant And Hypoglycermic Potential Of Ethanol Extract Of Senna Alata Leaves:- Offor, Steadfast E
ABSTRACT
Senna alata
L.is a medicinal plant containing high antioxidant properties that play an ~
important role in the prevention of various degenerative diseases in the society
and has ~ been followed with great interest in phytochemical and
pharmacological research because of its excellent traditional values. The
present study is aimed at investigating ;their antioxidant and hypoglycemic
properties. The antioxidant activity of S alata' ! ethanol leaf extract was
accessed by in vitro experimental parameters such as DPPH (1,1- '
Diphery-2-picrylhydrazyl) free radical scavenging activity and nitric oxide
radical assay. I the present study, DPPH was found to be concentration-dependent
manner. The result { showed that S. alata ethanol leaf extract displayed potent
in vitro antioxidant activity that may be attributed to the phenolic compounds
present. Also the result of the in vivo : hypoglycemic activity of ethanol leaf
extract of S. alata in alloxan induced diabetic rats at ! different
concentration of 500, 250,125 and 62.5 mg/ml respectively indicated that this
plant leaf extract posses hypoglycemic properties. Thus, this study strongly
recommends the use of S, alata ethanol leaf extract as antidiabetic agent.
