Cytotoxicity and Antioxidant Potentials of Barringtonia Asiatica Essential Oil by Isaac John Umaru in Drug Designing & Intellectual Properties International Journal in Lupine Publishers

Essential oils are liquid mixture of volatile compound obtained from aromatic plants. It was observed that many essential oils have antioxidant properties and can present antimicrobial activities. The Aim of the present study were:

a) to determine the cytotoxicity lethality of the leafs and stem-bark of

Barringtonia asiatica

using brine shrimp (Artimia salina).

b) to evaluate the antioxidant potential of composition of the leaf and stem-bark essential oil using the DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-

picrylhydrazyl) free radical scavenging assay. The essential oil exhibited a mild toxicity and significant IC50 of 36.55μg/mL and

22.10μg/mL value of antioxidant potential leaf and stem-bark of Barringtonia asiatica respectively.
