Comparación de los extractos naturales de sangre de drago (Croton lechleri) frente a la uña de gato (Uncaria tomentosa) para la valoración de mayor capacidad antioxidante

Abstract

The antioxidant activity of dragon blood and cat's claw extracts was evaluated by hydro-alcoholic maceration and phytochemical detection. DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydracil) assays were also performed on the extracts at 20 μg / mL, 50 μg / mL, 80 μg / mL and 100 μg / mL, in all trials, significant values of more than the 90% of the antioxidant capacity and the highest was the result of an IC50 of 11.0404 μg / mL. To corroborate this result, different statistical analyzes are carried out, where it is obtained that the dragon's blood has greater antioxidant capacity.
