Mangifera indica Linn. Waste Peel Ethanol Extract on Inducing Citrus amblycarpa Hassk. Ochese Antioxidant Activity

Background: Excessive production of reactive oxygen species plays a significant role in the proliferation and evolution of numerous high-risk diseases in humans, the antioxidant capacity of bioactive substances is of immense importance. Mangifera indica L., a medicinal plant has high bioactive metabolite contents and contributes to several positive biological processes in the plant. Citrus amblycarpa H.O. contains an excellent source of chemical compounds and the presence of these compounds can be a potential pharmacological activity as antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and others. The aim of the study is to assess the effect of Mangifera indica and Citrus amblycarpa peel ethanol extract as an antioxidant agents. Method: Phytochemical screening of M. indica and C. amblycarpa peeled ethanol extract was done to identify alkaloids, polyphenols, flavonoids, anthraquinone, tannins, and terpenoid contents. The antioxidant activity of the extract was determined using the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) method. Result: Mangifera indica and Citrus amblycarpa peel ethanol extract have an antioxidant activity of IC50 29,28 μg/mL and IC50 669,52 μg/mL separately, while combination antioxidant activity was 48,05 μg/ mL. Conclusion: Mangifera indica Linn. peel ethanol extract could induce Citrus amblycarpa antioxidant activity producing a potential antioxidant agent.
