Antioxidant, Anti-Inflammatory, and Inhibition of Acetylcholinesterase Potentials of DC. Flowers.

Despite being widely used traditionally as a general tonic, especially in South East Asia, scientific research on , remains scarce. In this study, the aim was to evaluate the in vitro activities for acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitory potential, radical scavenging ability, and the anti-inflammatory properties of different extracts of flowers using Ellman's assay, a DPPH assay, and an albumin denaturation assay, respectively. With the exception of the acetylcholinesterase activity, to the best of our knowledge, these activities were reported for the first time for flowers.
