Abstract
ABSTRACT Ethanolic leaf extract of Tamarix indica was evaluated for the antioxidant and anticancer activities and toxicological profiles. The flavonoid, phenolic, and tannin contents of leaves were estimated as 5.3068 mg of QE g−1, 8.786 mg of GAE g−1, and 8.5216 mg of GAE g−1, respectively. In DPPH scavenging assay, T. indica leaves’ extract had an IC50 value of 74.38 μg mL−1. HPLC-DAD analysis identified catechin hydrate, vanillic acid, rutin hydrate, p-coumaric acid, and myricetin in different concentrations. In brine shrimp lethality bioassay, the IC50 value of the extract was 19.928 µg mL−1. Chemopreventive activity was evaluated using DMBA/croton oil-induced skin cancinogenic model mice. Oral treatment of the extract at different doses reduced the size, number, yield, and burden of tumor in skin carcinogenic mice. Natural antioxidants GSH and SOD increased with extract treatment. Additionally, reduction in blood bilirubin, SGPT, and SGOT levels were observed in extract treated mice. In acute toxicity study, no mortality was observed in mice justifying the safety of the extract.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Herbs, Spices & Medicinal Plants is an essential reference filled with recent research and other valuable information associated with herbs, spices, and medicinal plants. The Journal serves as a focus point through which investigators and others may publish material of importance to the production, marketing, and utilization of these plants and associated extracts. The journal covers the following topics: growth, development, horticulture, ecology, physiology, genetics, chemistry, and economics. Original articles, review articles, and book reviews provide information of interest to an international audience of researchers, teachers, technicians, and managers involved with production and/or marketing of herbs, spices, and medicinal plants. Managers of food companies, food processing facilities, medical research laboratories, government agencies, and others interested in new chemicals, food additives, international trade, patents, and other items can easily review new findings. The Journal of Herbs, Spices & Medicinal Plants is a forum in which recent research and other information associated with herbs, spices, and medicinal plants is shared. The Journal represents a centralized database accessible by investigators within the international community that work with or have an interest in herbs, spices, and medicinal plants.
