ABSTRACT

Strobilanthes heyneanus (Nilgirianthus heyneanus) is the Acanthaceae family containing numerous species with an expected variety of treatments. Also, it is called Karun kurinji in Tamil and is mostly found in the Western Ghats of India. The folklore of this species is generally used to treat rheumatic diseases, sprain problems, and hernia. The study of the research work is to investigate the phytochemical, antioxidant, and GC-MS analysis of the leaves extract of Strobilanthes heyneanus. The DPPH? radical and hydroxyl (OH?) radical scavenging assays along with Fe3+ reducing power assays phoshomolybdenum reduction and were determined for the leaves extract. The highest DPPH? radical scavenging activity was 89.69±1.15 at 120 ?g/mL concentration and the calculated IC50 was 53.16 ?g/mL concentration. The highest OH? radical scavenging activity was 45.16±0.62 at 120 ?g/mL concentration and the calculated IC50 was 131.69 ?g/mL concentration. The highest ABTS. + radical scavenging activity was 97.41±0.62 at 60 ?g/mL concentration and the calculated IC50 was 18.40 ?g/mL concentration. The highest phosphomolybdenum reduction was 87.65±1.01 at 120 ?g/mL concentration and the calculated RC50 was 24.74 ?g/mL concentration. The highest Fe3+ reduction was 68.65±0.91 at 120 ?g/mL concentration and the calculated RC50 was 58.37 ?g/mL concentration.
