Implication

Randomized trial examines anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects of Citrus sinensis oils in Sri Lankan extracts, indicating potential therapeutic uses.

Key Points

Evaluate the bioactivity of essential oils from Citrus sinensis L. leaf and fruit peel using two extraction techniques.
Essential oils extracted using solvent-free microwave extraction (SFME) and hydro-distillation (HD).
Assessed anti-inflammatory properties through enzyme inhibition assays and nitric oxide production.
Analyzed chemical composition with GC-MS.
Leaf and fruit peel essential oils displayed A5-LOX inhibitory activity with IC50 values from 5.84 ± 0.06 to 21.65 ± 1.15 μg/mL.
D-limonene was the dominant compound in fruit peels with 81.46 ± 0.34% and 60.26 ± 0.48% for SFME and HD.
Significant nitric oxide inhibition was observed in fruit peel EOs with an IC50 of 148.80 ± 3.74 μg/mL.
