Abstract

Aims: The present study was aimed to evaluate anti-inflammatory and antioxidant potential of methanol root extract of Decalepis hamiltonii.

Results: The methanolic extract showed in vitro anti-inflammatory activity inhibition cells 96.1%µg/ml. MTT (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) assay was significant inhibited by the methanol (96.2) and inhibition addition the Nitric oxide production 25 µg/ml 95% inhibition. The methanol extract of Decalepis hamiltonii shows a Thus, a very strong approach to In-silico docking and in vitro anti-inflammatory study for whole with these compounds/extract. 

Conclusion: From the study it is concluded that the root extract of Decalepis hamiltonii showing a strong approach to In-silico docking and anti inflammatory activity.

Keywords: Decalepis hamiltonii, MTT (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide); nitric oxide, ferric reducing antioxidant power
