BackgroundThe vast majority of the population around the world has always used medicinal plants as first source of health care to fight infectious and non infectious diseases. Most of these medicinal plants may have scientific evidence to be considered in general practice.ObjectiveThe aim of this work was to investigate the antioxidant capacities and anti-inflammatory activities of ethanol extracts of leaves of Cassia alata, Eleusine indica, Carica papaya, Eremomastax speciosa and the stem bark of Polyscias fulva, collected in Cameroon.MethodsChemiluminescence was used to analyze the antioxidant activities of plant extracts against hydrogen peroxide or superoxide anion. Comet assays were used to analyze the protection against antioxidant-induced DNA damage induced in white blood cells after treating with hydrogen peroxide. Flow cytometry was used to measure γδ T cells proliferation and anti-inflammatory activity of γδ T cells and of immature dendritic cells (imDC) in the presence of different concentrations of plant extracts.ResultsEthanol extracts showed strong antioxidant properties against both hydrogen peroxide and superoxide anion. Cassia alata showed the highest antioxidant activity. The effect of plant extracts on γδ T cells and imDC was evidenced by the dose dependent reduction in TNF-α production in the presence of Cassia alata, Carica papaya, Eremomastax speciosa Eleusine indica, and Polyscias fulva. γδ T cells proliferation was affected to the greatest extent by Polyscias fulva.ConclusionThese results clearly show the antioxidant capacity and anti-inflammatory activities of plant extracts collected in Cameroon. These properties of leaves and stem bark extracts may contribute to the value for these plants in traditional medicine and in general medical practice.

“…The plant's most distinctive characteristic is a large palmate leaf with 5-9 pinnated lobes, 40-60 cm wide. The leaves spiral and cluster in mature tree branches (12) . The leaf's dorsiventrally positioned endodermis, which ranges from 30 cm to 105 cm in length, may be crucial when cavitations occur.…”

These are well-known health benefits of papaya (Carica papaya Linn.). Ayurveda, for example, recognises papaya's therapeutic value. Herbalists have used it to cure bilious fever, gonorrhoea, eczema, rheumatism and headaches. It took four decades of amazing research to identify a critical nutraceutical compound. It is antibacterial, antipyretic, insecticidal, antimicrobial, and antimolluscan. Leaves have been studied using phytoextraction of heavy metals and phytoremediation of particle pollution. Long-term research on phytoconstituents and leaf composition. Malaria, dengue fever, inflammation, and skin infections are all treated by Carica papaya. C. papaya flowers were first tested for antioxidant and antibacterial properties using TLC and UV spectroscopy. Our tests included TLC and UV-visible spectroscopy. The methanol extract had the most alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, and tannins. N-hexane had steroids and flavonoids while chloroform had saponins and tannins. In it, there were flavonoids and phenolic compounds.

The nutritional and medicinal benefits of papaya (Carica papaya Linn.) have long been known. Many traditional medical systems, such as Ayurveda, recognise papaya's medicinal potential. Traditional literature has used it to treat fever, swellings, bilious fever, gonorrhoea, eczema, rheumatism, headache, whooping cough, asthma, chickenpox, and bronchitis. A vital nutraceutical agent has been identified after four decades of remarkable research on its biological activity and medical applications. The leaf of Carica papaya Linn. has antibacterial, antipyretic, insecticidal, antimicrobial, and antimolluscan effects. Phytoextraction of heavy metals, phytoremediation of particle pollution, and other modern approaches have been utilised to study leaves. Phytoconstituents and leaf composition have been studied for decades. Carica papaya is used to cure a variety of diseases including malaria, dengue fever, inflammation, and skin infections. The antioxidant and antibacterial activity of C. papaya flowers were first assessed using TLC screening and UV spectroscopy. The extracts were also analysed by TLC and UV-visible spectroscopy. The methanol extract included the greatest alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, and tannins, according to the screening results. Both chloroform and n-hexane extracts had saponins and tannins, while n-hexane also had steroids and flavonoids. It had flavonoids, tannins, saponins, and phenolic chemicals.
