Antioxidant Properties from Tissue Extract of Cephalopods around Madras Atomic Power Station, Kalpakkam Coast
Journal Title: International Journal of Pharma Research and Health Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Objective: Molluscs are considered as an important natural source to derive many novel biological active compounds. Discovery of molluscan bioactive potential and their curious roles are still limited. Experimental approach: Hence, the present study was evaluated on the antioxidant activity of cephalopods (Sepia pharaonis, S. intermis and Octopus vulgaris) tissue extract at various concentrations (20-100μg/ml). Findings: The results of cephalopod methanol tissue extracts exhibited significant total antioxidant activity, total reducing power, DPPH, NO scavenging and hydrogen peroxide scavenging activity which predicted as 74.32%, 62.71%, 81.25%, 84.02% and 82.19%, respectively. Conclusion: These results concluded that, the tissue extract of Sepia pharaonis has novel antioxidant potential and it has to further characterize to improve the pharmacological active marine natural products
