assessment of antioxidant, neuroprotective, anti-urease and anti-tyrosinase capacities of leaves extracts.

Summary

Researchers analyzed the chemical contents of methanolic crude extract and its fractions (ethyl acetate, n-butanol, aqueous) using LC-MS analysis. They then tested the antioxidant properties (via DPPH, ABTS, etc. assays) and ability to inhibit enzymes (AChE, BChE, etc.). The study highlights the potential pharmacological properties of the extract and its potential for use in alternative medicine.
