Antioxidant Activity and HPLC Fingerprinting Profile of Ethanolic Extract of Euphorbia cotinifolia Bark from Bangladesh

Abstract

Aims: The present study was designed to investigate the antioxidant activity and High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) fingerprinting profiles of the ethanolic stem bark extract of Euphorbia cotinifolia growing in Bangladesh. Methodology: In-vitro antioxidant activity of the ethanol extract was carried out using ABTS (2, 2'-Azino-Bis-3-Ethylbenzothiazoline-6-Sulfonic Acid) radical scavenging activity, reducing power assay, total antioxidant activity, total phenolic and flavonoid content determination.
