PHYTOCHEMICAL COMPOSITION, In-vitro ANTIOXIDANT AND ANTI-INFLAMMATORY POTENTIAL OF THREE CLONES OF Tectona grandis: A COMPARATIVE STUDY

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Tectona grandis L. f., belonging to the family Lamiaceae, is a widely used traditional medicinal plant that can treat malaria, inflammation, diabetes, liver disease, tumors, and skin diseases. It also has various pharmacological activities like antibacterial, antioxidant, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, anti-diuretic, and hypoglycemic. The study aims to gather information on variations in phytochemicals, antioxidants, and anti-inflammatory properties of three teak clones (Nilambur Project Trial- NPT), i.e., NPT16, NPT42, and NPT116, using aqueous extracts of young and mature leaves. This investigation concluded that the mature leaves of the teak clone NPT42, with a concentration of 100µg/mL, showed considerable levels of secondary metabolites and antioxidants and promising anti-inflammatory activity.
