Abstract
Traditional medicine has historically utilized herbs of different kinds to treat a wide range of illnesses. The use of remedies derived from plants as a replacement for synthetic chemicals has received a lot of attention in modern times. While Cichorium intybus is frequently used in traditional medicine to treat various conditions, not enough research has been done to confirm its anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory effect
Objectives: The current study aims to evaluate the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities of the plant’s seed methanolic extract
Methodology: Maceration was used for getting the plant seed's methanolic extract. The sample underwent a physicochemical analysis in accordance with USP, 2016 requirements. The primary and secondary metabolites were evaluated both qualitatively and quantitatively in accordance with established protocols. The in vitro anti-inflammatory activity was investigated using the protein denaturation method, with diclofenac serving as the standard. To assess the anti-oxidant effect, phosphomilybednum, hydrogen peroxide scavenging assays, DPPH, and FRAP were used. The standard for antioxidant activity was vitamin C.
