subjectAbstract

Plants have provided mankind with herbal remedies for many diseases for many centuries and eventody. In India herbal medicines have been the basis of treatment and cure for various diseases in traditional methods practiced such as Ayurveda, Unani and Sidha. Trianthema decndra commonly known as Vellasharani (Tamil), Gadabani (Hindi), having promising theraputic values with its various phytoconstituents. Preliminary Phytochemical investigation was carried out on the ethanolic and aqueous extracts of Trianthema decandra. It indices presence of Alkaloids, Amino acids, phenols, Tannins, Carbohydrates, Flavonoids, Saponins, glycosides and Volatile oils. We are also quantitatively estimated total phenolic content, tannins and favaniods by using spectrophotometer. The total phenolic content was 680.23 ± 3.03 mg/g, tannin content was_524 ± 4.03 mg/ g while the flavonoid content was 215.42 ± 4.52 mg/g. The ethanolic and aqueous extracts were screened for antioxidant activity using Nitric oxide scavenging activity method, which showed significant persentage of inhibition in dose dependent manner. As antioxidant therapy is found to be useful in complicated disease status related with free radical activity. This is the first research report regarding Invitro evaluation of Nitric oxide scavenging activity of ethanolic and aqueous extracts of Trianthema decandra. The present study might be extended for the formulation and evaluation of different antioxidant herbal dosage forms.
