Antioxidants And Hypoglycemic Potentials Of Ethanol Leaf Extract Of Senna Hirsuta L.:- Wogu, Glory C
ABSTRACT
Medicinalplants containing high antioxidant
properties play an important role in the prevention ofvarious degenerative
diseases in the society. Senna hirsuta L. has been of keen interest in
phytochemical and pharmacological research due to their excellent traditional
values. The present study is aimed at investigating their antioxidant and
hypoglycemic activities or properties. The antioxidant activity of S. hirsuta
ethanol leaf extract -was accessed by in vitro experimental parameters such as
DPPH (1, l-Diphery-2-picrylhydrazyl) free radical scavenging activity and
nitric oxide radical assay. The DPPH was found to be concentration-dependent
manner. The result showed that S. hirsuta 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
ofethanol leafextract ofS. hirsuta L. 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. hirsuta ethanol leafextract as antidiabetic
agent.
