Preparation Of Tridax Procumbens Stem Based Chitosan Gel and Its Antioxidant Activity
Main Article Content
Abstract
Introduction: In many countries across Africa, T. procumben L. (Asteraceae) has long been used as a traditional medicine to treat bronchial severe stomach cramps, diarrhoea, dysentery, and liver disorders. For the purpose of removing periodontal pockets, chitosan has been tested in vivo using flap surgery and a shallower probing depth.
Materials and methods:
T.procumbens stem based chitosan gel was prepared and its antioxidant activity was evaluated. The antioxidant activity was evaluated by using DPPH assay and Hydroxyl Radical Scavenging Assay. Different concentrations (10μL,20μL,30μL,40μL,50μL) ofT.procumbens stem based chitosan gel were analysed for its antioxidant activity.
Results: The % inhibition of T.procumbens stem based chitosan gel was calculated and was found to be maximum at 50μL and lowest at 10μL concentration.
Conclusion: T.procumbens stem based chitosan gel can serve as an excellent antiinflammatory agent and can be used as an alternative to commercially available wound healing gel for oral applications
