... Assay results indicated that M. pudica extract from different parts of the plant displayed significant DPPH scavenging activity. Parvathy et al. [115] assessed the free radical scavenging and the ferrous ion chelating activities of methanolic flower extracts of M. pudica . Findings from the experiment indicated that the extract at 250μg/ml produced percentage inhibition of 17.39 and 39.92% for nitric oxide and DPPH methods while also producing 59% inhibition in the ferrous chelating method thus showing that M. pudica extract possesses impressive antioxidant capacity. ...
