Evolution of Antioxidant & Cytotoxicity of the Hydro Alcoholic Extract of Dried Root of Digera Muricata Using MTT Assay

Abstract

Digera Muricata, a medicinal plant with a rich history in traditional medicine, has garnered attention due to its potential health benefits. This study investigates the antioxidant and cytotoxic properties of the hydro-alcoholic extract obtained from the dried root of Digera Muricata using the MTT assay. The dried roots of Digera Muricata were subjected to hydro-alcoholic extraction, and the resulting extract was tested for its antioxidant activity using standard assays, including DPPH  and ABTS  assays. The extract exhibited significant antioxidant potential, demonstrating its ability to scavenge free radicals. hydro-alcoholic extract of the dried root of Digera Muricata possesses notable antioxidant activity and demonstrates promising cytotoxicity against cancer cells. These findings highlight the therapeutic potential of Digera Muricata as a source of natural antioxidants and cytotoxic agents, which could have implications for the development of novel pharmaceuticals or complementary therapies in the field of cancer research and oxidative stress-related diseases
