Evaluation of Antioxidant Activities in Ethanolic Extract of Aerva Lanata Leaves

Abstract

To prevent cancer, several chemicals can inhibit or halt the oxidation of a substrate that is already oxidizing. The Aerva lanata plant's branches may possess bioactive compounds and exert an antioxidant action. This herb has a long history of medicinal use among Indian people.   Products from large-leafed mangroves were extracted using methanol in order to identify their bioactive components, antioxidant mobility, and proximate compositions. The two Aerva lanata extracts that were evaluated for phytochemicals contained a variety of dynamic components, including alkaloids, glycosides, steroid gum, flavonoids, saponins, reducing sugar, and tannins. Hydrogen peroxide, FRAP, metal chelating, DPPH radical, and superoxide radical assays were also employed to evaluate the antioxidant capabilities of the alcohol and fluid extraction. Based on the results of the show analysis, the ethanolic Aerva lanata extract exhibited much higher anti-oxidant activity than the fluid extracts. Further investigation is necessary to accurately identify the antioxidant-moving molecule; biophysical characterization can be performed at a later stage. An explanation for phenolic substances' great rummaging capacity could be the presence of hydroxyl bunches.
