abstract
Overuse of antimicrobial drugs has led to selective resistance to existing antibiotics, necessitating the development of different and improved alternatives. Natural substances, particularly those derived from plants, are well-known for their therapeutic characteristics, including antibacterial and antifungal properties. The main objective of the present study was to evaluate the anti-inflammatory activity of isolated bioactive flavonoid Mesua ferrea in-A from the bark of Mesua ferrea L. by in vivo approach. The Alpha Amylase Inhibition Assay was used to assess antidiabetic effectiveness in vitro. Fractions 3 and 5 displayed the most activity. Using reducing power, an antioxidant activity test was performed. Fraction no. 3 showed a higher absorbance of 0.94 at 500 g/ml.
