Pharmacognostical, preliminary phytochemical and invitro antioxidant activity of Abutilon crispum

Abstract

This study investigates the pharmacognostic, antioxidant properties of Abutilon crispum leaves, a medicinal plant traditionally used for treating various ailments. Antioxidant potential was assessed using hydroxyl, DPPH, and nitric oxide radical scavenging assays, showing a concentration-dependent increase in scavenging activity. These findings underscore Abutilon crispum as a potential natural therapeutic agent for disease management and oxidative stress mitigation. Future research could further elucidate the mechanisms and isolate active compounds responsible for these effects.
