Antioxidant Potential of Colebrookea oppositifolia Sm. Extracts: An In Vitro Screening Study

Alzheimer’s disease is a degenerative neurological condition mostly affecting memory and cognitive abilities in older people. This study aimed to determine how acteoside, a major plant phytoconstituent, protects against neuronal death in the hippocampus region, activates the cholinergic system, and acts as an antioxidant to help people with Alzheimer’s-type dementia. Early research on the extraction process and subsequent in vitro testing revealed that the plant extract had potent antioxidant qualities. Initial assessment highlighted the yield percentage, which was 14.10% using the Soxhlet method. In order to explore this plant’s possible medical uses, further in vivo studies are required.
