Screening of Bioactive Secondary Metabolites and Free Radical Scavenging Activity of Mucuna pruriens Seeds | Chapter 8 | Novel Aspects on Pharmaceutical Research Vol. 1

 The purpose concerning this chapter search out identify Mucuna pruriens beginning extract's bioactive phytoconstituents and quantify allure in vitro antioxidant activity.Preliminary phytochemical reasoning were done for the discovery of bioactive constituents utilizing standard procedures and the DPPH (2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) test was used to judge the In vitro antioxidant activity.Mucuna pruriens source extract was subjected to a preliminary phytochemical study, that revealed the appearance of major bioactive substances like phenols, flavonoids, tannins, alkaloids, triterpenes, and phytosterols. The maximum DPPH radical scavenging activity of Mucuna pruriens beginning extract in an antioxidant experiment was 72.95%, compared to a maximum action of 93.24% for the standard control at the same quantity (0.2 mg/ml). This is a blatant sign of the drug's forceful antioxidant properties.Mucuna pruriens sources are abundant source of natural antioxidants and presented high DPPH radical scavenging characteristics and contains main bioactive phytoconstituents. such as phenols, flavonoids, tannins, alkaloids, triterpenes, and phytosterols.
