Methanol extracts of different species of Ocimum alleviate the peroxide radical-mediated cell injury and redox imbalance in human colon epithelial cells

Comparative Morpho-micrometric Investigations in Six Indigenous Ocimum Species of India with DOE Based HPTLC Method for Multi-class Component Analysis

“…The O. filamentosum is an understudied species in the genus possibly because it is less aromatic than the rest of the species; however, it has been reported to have microbicidal properties [14,15]. Ocimum species are rich source of phenolic compounds and in vitro analysis of their extracts shows potent anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antimicrobial activities thus justifying its adaptogenic use in an array of health conditions [16][17][18]. They are also commercially utilized in the form of bioactive volatiles-containing essential oils yielded from the plants for its various biological activities [19,20].…”
