The present study was carried out to evaluate in-vitro antioxidant, and thrombolytic activity of MeOH and EtOAc extracts Trema orientalis flowers. Antioxidant activity of the extracts was tested by using DPPH (1, 1diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) free radical scavenging assay method whereas the thrombolytic activity was tested by in-vitro clot lysis assay method. The MeOH extract of T. orientalis showed mild free radical scavenging activity (IC 50 : 131.2µg/ml) compared to ascorbic acid (IC 50 :12.4µg/ml) used as a standard. On the other hand, both MeOH and EtOAc extract produced 21.4 and 21.5% clot lysis respectively compared to streptokinase used as a positive control that caused 51% clot lysis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
