Studies Of Antioxidant Activity in Caralluma Fimbriata Wall

Caralluma fimbriata Wall is belonging to plant family Apocynaceae. It is also known as Shindula Makadi, Makad Shenguli, Kullimudayan, and Ranshabar in India. In the Kolli Hills of South India, the indigenous population habitually eats C. fimbriata as a vegetable on a daily basis. It is a valuable botanical resource that is utilised in pickles and chutney in Andhra Pradesh's dry regions. It has historically been used as a famine food and an appetite suppressor. A wide range of secondary metabolites, such as flavonoids, glycosides, saponins, and triterpenes, are present in the plant. The DPPH assay was used to assess the antioxidant properties. This indicates a stronger free radical scavenging potential than root displayed higher antioxidant activity than the stem extract, particularly at higher concentrations.
