- Abstract
Traditionally, the leaves of Clematis wightiana have been used in the treatment of rheumatism, indigestion, headaches, varicose veins, bone problems, nasal congestion and sinus. The present study was conducted to evaluate the phytochemical profile, quantification of secondary metabolites and free radical scavenging capacity of C. wightiana leaf. The total phenolic, tannin and flavanoid content of C. wightiana leaves were quantified and were found to be higher in the ethyl acetate extract. Subsequently, the extracts were subjected to appraise their antioxidant capacity by availing various in vitro antioxidant assays namely DPPH radical scavenging assay, ABTS assay, Phosphomolybedenum assay, Ferric Reducing assay, Superoxide Radical Scavenging assay and Reducing power assay. The results of the antioxidant assays revealed that the ethyl acetate extract of C. wightiana leaves possess better free radical scavenging activity than other solvent extracts. Thus, the finding of the study elucidates the perception on phytochemical and bioactivity of C. wightiana which could be used in development of phytotherapeutics to enchance human health.
