The objective of the present study was to evaluate aqueous extract of Trimad for its in vitro antioxidant activity. A battery of in vitro biochemical tests such as total phenol content, ferric reducing power, ABTS [2, 2 azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid)] scavenging activity and Lipid peroxidation inhibitory activity was used. The total phenol content of Trimad was found to be 279.5 mg/g dry mass. In case of DPPH scavenging activity, Trimad was found to be more potent than ascorbic acid at all given concentrations. It also showed significant ferric reducing potential (0.110% at 20μg/ml) and ABTS scavenging activity (31% at 80μg/ml). Trimad however showed very minimal (4.754% at 100μg/ml) lipid peroxidation activity. Our findings indicate promising antioxidant activity of Trimad extract however it needs further attention for its effective use in both modern and traditional system of medicines
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.
