A study on evaluation of the phytochemical constituents and antioxidant property in various extract preparations of Dicliptera cuneata nees

The study evaluated the phytochemical constituents and antioxidant activity of Dicliptera cuneata Nees using different solvent extracts, including chloroform, ethanolic, hexane and hydroalcoholic extracts. Phytochemical screening revealed the presence of flavonoids, saponins, tannins, alkaloids and terpenoids in various extracts. Among the extracts, hydroalcoholic extract exhibited the highest antioxidant activity compared to ethanolic, chloroform and hexane extracts. The hydroalcoholic extract showed maximum DPPH radical scavenging activity of 74.58% at 1000 μg/ml, indicating its significant dose-dependent antioxidant potential.
