Summary of article contents:
Free radicals have attracted a great deal of attention in recent years. Excessive production of reactive oxygen species and oxidative stress leads to derangements of normal physiological phenomenon. To counteract the harmful effects of free radicals, antioxidant defence mechanism operates to detoxify or scavenge these free radicals. Vanda tessellata Roxb. (Family: Orchidaceae) have been used in the indigenous medicine such as Ayurveda and local traditional medical practices. However, its antioxidant potential is not explored yet. Therefore, we have decided to evaluate antioxidant activity of petroleum ether extract of Vanda tessellata Roxb by using established invitro antioxidant methods such as 1, 1-Diphenyl-2-Picrylhydrazil (DPPH), NO scavenging activity. Invitro antioxidant studies showed that Petroleum ether extract had significant NO inhibition but not DPPH free radical scavenging activity.
