Antioxidant and antimicrobial properties of ethyl acetate extract from the leaves of rhinacanthus nasutusin vitro

Orofacial Ethyl acetate extract from Rhinacanthusnasutusleaves has long been used to treat a variety of infectious disorders. The researchers wanted to see how much phenol and flavonoid was in the ethyl acetate extract from Rhinacanthusnasutus leaves, as well as how effective it was as an antioxidant and antibacterial. The leaves had increased phenolic contents, according to the test of flavonoid and phenolic level. The antioxidant properties of extracts from various plant sections were also assessed using the ABTS radical scavenging, lipid peroxidation, superoxide radical, and nitric oxide scavenging methods. The antioxidant capabilities of the radical scavenging were found to be higher than those of the other sections. The disc diffusion method were employed to check the antibacterial characteristics of an ethyl acetate extract from the Rhinacanthusnasutus leaves, and the floral extracts displayed better antibacterial activity against the four bacterial strains utilised in this work. The antioxidant and antibacterial characteristics of phenolics obtained from the ethyl acetate extract of Rhinacanthus nasutusare discussed in this study.
