ABSTRACT

Aim:Medical illnesses known as Neurodegenerative Diseases (NDDs) have generated considerable attention in the science-based community. Thein vitroapproach for determining the antioxidant potentials ofW. fruticosaflowers and their neuroprotective effects.Materials and Methods:Woodfordia fruticosa flower extract samples that underwent GC-MS analysis. DPPH and ABTS Radical Scavenging assays were performed. The neuroprotective potential of the selected extract was assessed using IMR-32 by MTT assay.Results:Twenty-one compounds were found in the methanolic leaf extract of Woodfordia fruticosa, according to the GC-MS analysis. Using the DPPH and ABTS assays,in vitroantioxidant activity was assessed. The standard and test samples produced various concentrations (12.5, 25, 50, 100, and 200 g/mL). Percentage suppression of the anti-oxidant action is shown. Ten distinct acetone extract compounds and nine different ethanol extraction components were found. Both preparations are more effective in scavenging free radicals as their concentration increases.Conclusion:The current research demonstratesW. fruticosa’sability to protect neurons from Lipopolysaccharide-induced neurotoxicity in neuronal cells. Maximum cytotoxic effect was found in the MTT solubilization found better at high-end concentrations than at Lower concentrations among both extracts.
