Antioxidant Study and Phytochemical Identification of Leucas Lavandulifolia Roots
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: The study's primary goal is to assess the ethanolic extract of Leucas lavandulifolia roots' antioxidant and free radical scavenging properties utilizing a variety of in vitro assay techniques. It also aims to assess the phytochemical identification tests. On March 31, 2024, the roots of the Leucas lavandulifolia plant were gathered from Dolaigaon Road, New Colony, Natunpara, Bongaigaon, Assam, 783380, India. The antioxidant and free radical scavenging activity were estimated using standard procedures from the literature. Given that the obtained values are quite close to the utilized reference chemical, the results imply that the extracts can be regarded as a valuable source of antioxidant products. In this setting, antioxidant and free radical scavenging capabilities are novel to the literature. For future in vivo activities, this extension in vitro study of the chosen leucas species for antioxidant activity will be beneficial.
