Abstract

Objectives: This study evaluates the antioxidant potential of Calotropis procera leaves, flowers, and latex, Zanthoxylum armatum dried seeds, and Syzygium aromaticum dried flower buds.

Methodology: The extracts were prepared using methanol, acetone, and chloroform as solvents. Antioxidant activity was assessed using the DPPH (1,1-Diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl) free radical scavenging method, with ascorbic acid serving as the standard. Phytochemical screening identified secondary metabolites such as flavonoids, terpenoids, glycosides, and more.

Results: The results revealed that C. procera leaves and flowers exhibited the highest antioxidant activities, with Methanolic extracts showing the most significant radical scavenging potential. Methanolic extracts of S. aromaticum dried flower buds also demonstrated substantial antioxidant activity.

Conclusion: This comparative analysis underscores the therapeutic potential of these plants in managing oxidative stress-related diseases.

Keywords:Antioxidant potential, Calotropis Procera Leaves, Dried Flower Buds.
