Ixora coccinea L. : extracts and hydroalcoholic fractions

Meer over het boek

The study investigates the chemical and biological properties of Ixora coccinea L. through hydroalcoholic extracts and fractions. Using high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (HPLC/MS), catechol was identified as the predominant component. The research assessed antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-arthritic activities, revealing effective concentrations (EC50) that indicate strong biological activity across all assays. The antioxidant activity showed EC50 values between 6.45 and 87.15 ppm, while anti-inflammatory and anti-arthritic activities ranged from 32.27 to 198.06 ppm and 10.76 to 66.02 ppm, respectively.
