Abstract

The objective of the current investigation was to conduct both qualitative and quantitative phytochemical analyses, assess extraction yield, and evaluate the in-vitro antioxidant activity of N. nouchali flower through standard protocols.The extracts of N. nouchali flower were tested for nitric oxide radical scavenging (NORS), hydrogen peroxide radical scavenging (HPRS), 2,2-Diphenyl-1-Picrylhydrazyl free radical scavenging (DPPH-FRS), and superoxide anion radical scavenging (SOARS) radical scavenging inhibition using in-vitro procedure.Additionally, quantitative phytochemical analysis e.g., Total Phenolic Content (TPC) and Total Flavonoid Content (TFC) were performed.The
