Characterization of Pedalium murex L. Seeds for its Antioxidant Activity.

Pedalium murex L. (family: Pedaliaceae) is a common medicinal plant in the Indian system of Medicine used in the treatment of renal diseases, digestive tonics, ulcers, fevers, wounds and other disorders, as they possess antioxidant activity. In the present study of Pedalium murex was selected depending upon its availability and its use in curing various health ailments for antioxidant studies. In vitro antioxidant study the most common method is the DPPH (2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) assay. The plant has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial and anti-diabetic effects. Ethno-medicinal plants play a vibrant role in inhibiting different disorders in human-beings and cattle. The goal of these studies is to discover an effective treatment for a variety of illnesses that are prevalent in today’s society, as well as a way to postpone the signs of aging.
