Abstract
Introduction: The study of free radical chemistry has received considerable attention in recent years. Our bodies produce free radicals through a variety of endogenous systems, exposed to various physiochemical or pathological conditions.
Objective: The study aimed to assess the in-vitro antioxidant properties of Acacia ferruginea plant stem and to screen for their phytochemical components.
Methodology: The stem was examined for enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidants, radical scavenging activity in three solvents with varying polarities, and phytochemical analyses.
Result: The stem of Acacia ferruginea possessed considerable levels of enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidants.
Conclusion: Although the three extracts had high scavenging properties, in-vitro assays did not show any significant DNA preventive properties. Phytochemical screening indicated the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids and phenols.
