“…This could be as a result of abundant flavonoid compounds in C. odorata extract. Flavonoids have been implicated to have antagonistic reactions in combination due to its antioxidant property(Hajimehdipoor et al, 2014;Xu et al, 2014;Zhang et al, 2003), andLing et al (2007) reported that flavonoids are the main components of C. odorata leaves; at least ten flavonoid compounds have been isolated and identified. Furthermore, Akala et al (2010) attributed antagonistic activity observed across all combination ratios, when a very active flavonoid compound was combined with chloroquine, to antioxidant property of flavonoids which scavenge the active compound present in chloroquine.…”
