ANTIOXIDANT POTENTIAL OF THE EXTRACT OF WHOLE PLANT PARTS OF MUKIA MADERASPATANA (LINN.)ROEM
Oxidative stress induces a cellular redox imbalance which has been found to be present in various cancer cells compare with normal cells, the redox imbalance thus may be related to oncogenic stimulation. Lots of anticancer drugs are in the market, but the main problem associated with these drugs is their side effects. Because of chemotherapy treatment side effects, the patient needs secondary palliative care treatment. Plant medicines are well known for their non-toxic side effects, so the objective of the study is to develop a drug from medicinal plant against colon cancer with non-toxic side effects. In the present study, Mukia maderaspatana (Linn.)Roem was used to study the Antioxidant potential of the extract and to synthesize new anticancer moiety. DMP was also studied for its in vitro antioxidant property by different methods. DMP has a hydrogen donating property, which may be attribute to the good antioxidant activity
