Article Synopsis
- Saussurea heteromalla, a member of the Asteraceae family, is commonly found in Pakistan and shows promise in biological research, particularly for its potential anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-cancer properties.
- The study involves various assays, including carrageenan-induced rat paw edema for anti-inflammatory effects, DPPH for antioxidant activity, and the MTT test to evaluate cell viability and cytotoxicity of the methanolic extract.
- Results indicate that the methanolic extract of Saussurea heteromalla exhibits significant anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, with a notable cytotoxic effect at higher doses, suggesting the need for further isolation and exploration of its active compounds.
Humans rely on plants as a necessitous source of their food, energy, cosmetics and medicines, as medicinal plants are rich source of new therapeutically active compounds from decades. Current study was designed to separate and identify active constituents of Erythrina suberosa bark extract using phytochemical screening and gas chromatography and mass spectroscopy, respectively and evaluated their therapeutic activities.
