Abstract
The paper highlights the synergistic potential of the novel combination of Camellia sinensis (Kangra green tea) and Withania somnifera (Ashwagandha). One variable at a time approach was used to find antioxidant potential of C. sinensis and W. somnifera alone and in combination. Optimization of antioxidant potential was done by using different plant concentrations of C. sinensis and W. somnifera using a statistical approach of central composite design (CCD) of RSM (response surface methodology). Initial antioxidant activity during optimization of the solvent system was observed in methanol for C. sinensis with DPPH, superoxide radical scavenging assay and hydrogen peroxide scavenging assay (44.9 ± 0.62, 43.77 ± 0.10, 43.88 ± 0.10% scavenging) and for W. somnifera (40.22 ± 0.39, 43.29 ± 1.12, 41.88 ± 0.11% scavenging), respectively. Initially, IC50 has been calculated for C. sinensis (235.26 ± 0.012 μg/mL) and W. somnifera (256.39 ± 0.43 μg/mL) in methanol. Before statistical optimization, the maximum synergistic antioxidant potential of C. sinensis (200 μg/mL) and W. somnifera (150 μg/mL) with DPPH assay, superoxide radical scavenging and hydrogen peroxide scavenging assay was found to be 56.57 ± 0.62, 56.99 ± 0.42, 55.44 ± 0.53% scavenging, respectively. IC50 value has been calculated for C. sinensis + W. somnifera (IC50 = 215.47 ± 0.06 μg/mL). Optimization of plant concentration using CCD of RSM resulted in enhancement of antioxidant potential of C. sinensis (200.5 μg/mL) and W. somnifera (200.5 μg/mL) was found to be 78.01 ± 0.01% scavenging when compared to the initial antioxidant potential, i.e., 56.57 ± 0.62% scavenging shows a 1.37-fold increase from initial antioxidant potential. Research unveils that using various combination of C. sinensis and W. somnifera enhance the antioxidant potential in vitro.

期刊介绍:
The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, India, Section B: Biological Sciences, is one of the oldest journals of India, launched in the year 1930, by the National Academy of Sciences, India (the Oldest Science Academy of India). The research/review papers of different fields of science, e.g. Agriculture Sciences (Agriculture, Animal Husbandry, Fisheries, Forestry, Agric. Toxicology, Soil Science, Plant Protection, Post Harvest Technology, and Agricultural Engineering), Animal Sciences (Structural, Developmental, Functional, Genetical, Ecological, Behavioural, Taxonomical and Evolutionary Aspects), Biochemistry, Biophysics, Biotechnology (including Molecular and Cell Biology, Structural and Functional Studies, Microbiology and Immunology), Medical & Forensic Sciences (Basic and Clinical Medical Sciences, Pharmacology, Anthropology, Psychology and Forensic Sciences, Human genetics, Reproduction Biology, Neurosciences and Molecular Medicine) and Plant Sciences (Structural, Developmental, Functional, Genetical, Ecological, Taxonomical and Evolutionary Aspects), are published in this journal for dissemination of the scientific knowledge and research. The papers published are indexed/abstracted by the leading abstracting agencies of the world. The papers are published after critical review and editing by the eminent experts of the concerned subject area; therefore, the quality publication is assured once the paper is accepted by the learned referees.
