The methanol extract of IVM showed antioxidant potential and antimicrobial activity. It contained high levels of phenols and flavonoids. Additionally, it had inhibitory effects on enzymes and contained compounds with medicinal potential.
Summary: In this study, we investigated the chemical composition and properties of leaf extracts from (Asteraceae), a plant traditionally used in folk medicine. We found that the extracts had high levels of phenols and flavonoids, and exhibited strong antioxidant activity. The extracts also showed dose-dependent cytotoxic effects on cancer cells and increased the number of apoptotic cells. Additionally, the extracts increased reactive oxygen species levels. Molecular docking identified two compounds with high binding affinities. This study highlights the potential health benefits of leaf extracts and suggests further research to identify the active compounds.
