Objective: Phytochemicals with antioxidant potential have great
potential to control both plant and human diseases. Aim of this study is
to analyse the assorted phytochemical constituents impact of various
solvents on their extraction yields and further to determine the
bioactive phytochemicals and amount of antioxidant activity of Alangium
Salvifolium seeds. Methods: Seeds of Alangium salvifolium were obtained,
screened for phytochemicals and evaluated for their antioxidant
activity. Chemical analysis of phytochemical constituents were performed
by standard protocols. Various in vitro methods have been used to test
the antioxidant activity of plant extracts, such as the DPPH free
radical scavenging assay and SOS activity. Results: Phytochemical
screening of plant extracts evaluated, revealed the subsequent presence
of bioactive components And antioxidant potential. The present study
revealed that the ethanolic extract of seeds of Alangium salvifolium
showed significant antioxidant activities. Conclusion: Alangium
Salvifolium is a remarkable medicinal plant that has a variety of
bioactive phytochemicals and can be used to prevent a variety of
diseases. Recent research suggests that antioxidants derived from plants
with free-radical scavenging properties may be useful in the treatment
of free-radical-mediated chronic conditions.
