In Vitro Antioxidant Activity Of Oak Gall Oil And Triphala Oil
Main Article Content
Abstract
Traditional Indian literature have evidenced the usage of Oak gall and Triphala for common ailments to oral malignancies and other lifestyle disorders. The objective of the study is to examine the antioxidant activity of oak gall oil (OGO) & Triphala oil (TPO). Oak gall oil (OGO)) and Triphala oil (TPO) were produced with purified oil from coconut in a proportion of 1:5, with one portion of gall of Oak / Triphala added to five parts of the oil of coconut. Oak gall & Triphala oil were evaluated for antioxidant capabilities using the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay, the Hydroxyl radical scavenging activity and the Nitric oxide radical scavenge action. In the DPPH experiment, ascorbic acid served as the comparison standard, while gallic acid was utilized to measure nitric oxide activity in reducing radicals and the hydroxyl radical scavenge activity. The percentage inhibition of Oak gall oil (OGO) & Triphala oil (TPO) was 75.2%, and 67.4% for DPPH assay,48.4% and 63.3% for Hydroxyl radical scavenging assay, 51.2% and 52.7% for Nitric oxide radical scavenging assay respectively with ascorbic acid (89.1%) and Gallic acid standard (62.9% and 70.4%) used as comparative respectively. The study results show that Oak gall oil (OGO)and Triphala oil (TPO) possess antioxidant properties comparable to reference standards. Products derived from native plants, such as oak gall & Triphala, if proven to be effective in-vivo, can serve as a simple, safe, cost-effective and culturally acceptable adjuvant in anticancer management
