Abstract: Ormocarpum cochinchinense (OC), traditionally used for bone healing, is emerging as a plant of interest for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.This herb, from the Fabaceae family and native to Southeast Asia, India's Coromandel region, tropical Africa, and Pacific islands, shows promise in addressing oxidative stress and chronic inflammation.In the context of rising health concerns linked to these conditions, OC's bioactive compounds are being studied for their potential to scavenge free radicals and mitigate disease progression.Its effects on oxidative stress and inflammation are relevant for chronic diseases such as cardiovascular conditions, neurodegenerative disorders, and periodontitis.Despite its traditional uses and regional significance, detailed scientific research on OC's pharmacological benefits is limited.This study investigates the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities of the ethanolic extract of OC through in vitro analyses.The goal is to enhance understanding of OC's therapeutic potential as a natural remedy for chronic inflammatory diseases.
