Abstract
Antioxidant potential of Sida rhomboidea.Roxb methanol extract (MESR) was evaluated using in vitro models such as lipid peroxidation, metal chelation and reducing potential. Its free radical scavenging ability was also examined using in vitro assays for 1, 1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazil (DPPH,) superoxide (.O2), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), nitric oxide (NO.) and hydroxyl radical (HO.) radical scavenging. MESR recorded dose dependent effect on inhibition of lipid perodixation (IC50= 92.15±1.21μg/ml), effective metal chelation (IC50=65.69±1.22μg/ml) and higher reducing potential (ODmax=1.20±0.27). MESR could efficiently scavenged DPPH (IC50=63.23±1.59μg/ml), .O2 (IC50=142.36±2.59μg/ml), H2O2 (IC50=125.96±3.00 μg/ml), NO. (IC50=85.36±2.01 μg/ml) and HO. (IC50=90.45±1.88 μg/ml) radicals in a dose dependent manner. Results obtained herein can be attributed to the presence of polyphenols (35.60±1.20 mg/ml gallic acid equivalent-polyphenols), flavanoids (26.94±0.94 mg/ml quercetin equivalent-flavanoids) and ascorbic acid (28.71±1.14 mg/ml ascorbic acid) in MESR. These observations suggest antioxidant and free radical scavenging potentials of MESR that adds a new dimension to its already established therapeutic uses.
