Comparative evaluation of adaptogenic and antioxidant activities of traditionally used Indian drugs

The present study is aimed at evaluating the adaptogenic and antioxidant activity of traditionally used drugs in Ayurveda and Siddha system of medicine. Antioxidant and adaptogenic activity of methanolic extract of Muppu, Vidakanachoornam and Buchanania lanzan were evaluated using TBARS and GSH as biomarkers. Comparative results of the three formulations revealed that the Ayurvedic formulation Vidakanachoornam had maximum antioxidant potential as it was found to be most significant at the dose of 400 mg/kg body weight, followed by the extract of Buchanania lanzan.
