Title

EVALUATION OF IN VITRO ANTI OXIDANT POTENTIAL OF METHANOLIC EXTRACTS OF THE FERNS SELAGINELLA WIGHTII HIERON AND ANEMIA WIGHTIANA GARD

Abstract

Free radicals or highly reactive oxygen species are capable to bring out the oxidative stress, which leads to damage of carbohydrates, proteins, lipids and DNA and Causes the diseases and cellular injuries. In the present study to evaluate the in-vitro antioxidant activity of methanolic extracts Selaginella wightii and Anemia wightiana. Scavenging activity was carried by DPPH (2, 2-diphenyl-picryl-1-picryl-hydrazyl radical), ABTS•+, Ferrous ion chelating assay and Reducing power assay. From this analysis, Selaginella wightii and Anemia wightiana, were found to have potent antioxidant activity against DPPH IC50 value of 13.83 - 72.51 and 23.40 - 90.44 respectively. The plant species Selaginella wightii had the highest values for ABTS•+ radical scavenging activity (1716.19) in trolx equivalent and reducing power assay (0.23) while the fern, A. wightiana exhibited higher ferrous iron chelating activity (62.55 at 5000 μg/mL) than Selaginella wightii. Thus the results obtained in the present study indicate that these plants have the potential as natural sources of antioxidants, capable of protecting against free radical mediated damage and may have applications in preventing and curing various diseases.

Key Words

Antioxidant activity, Pteridophytes, Anemia wightiana and Selaginella wightii.
