In -Vitro Antioxidant Activity of Capsicum Chinense plant Leaves by Hydro-Methanolic Extraction

Generation of the reactive oxygen species (ROS) or intracellular abilities to elimination of ROS are out of balance, which leads to oxidative stress. It causes excessive damage to all biomolecules, including lipids, proteins, DNA, and RNA. The antioxidant activity of plants is caused by these phytochemicals, which interact with the antioxidants substances that prevents oxidation and oxidatives injury caused by free radical. As a result, it can potentially neutralize reactive oxygen species or free radicals. Capsicum Chinense, a member of the Solanaceae family, is a rumbustious, easily-growing species that is found from the Tezpur DefenseResearch Laboratory, in Indian state of Assam, that the king chilli is the hottest chilli worldwide. This species is utilized as hepatoprotective, antitumor, diuretic, anti-inflammatory, and bactericidal medicines due to its antioxidant activity. Numerous researches carried out in the last few years have shown that many types of chilli consist of phenolic chemicals, carotenoids, and capsaicinoids—all among which have been shown to have biological activity. In this study we identify the anti-oxidant impact of hydro-methanolic extract of leaves parts of Capsicum Chinense or to estimate the Anti-oxidant effects of hydro-methanolic extract and compare to it with Silymarin by DPPH Radical Scavenging Assay methods because there is no scientific data presented to the anti-oxidant activities of this plant. The current investigation also showed that Capsicum Chinense leaves portions contain a variety of secondary metabolites. These phytochemicals may be a significant source of pharmacological compounds, meaning that the plant species have enormous possibility for used in the treat for a range of chronic illnesses. The species' crude extract exhibits encouraging antioxidant potential as well, supportive the old-style uses of this plant with scientific evidence.
