Metabolite profiling and antioxidant activity of leaves, stem, and flowers of Tridax procumbens: A medicinal herb

Abstract

Introduction: This study was designed to analyze in vitro antioxidant activity and estimate the metabolic profiling of
non-polar and polar extracts of Tridax procumbens leaves stem and flowers. Materials and Methods: Antioxidant
activity of hexane and methanol extract was determined through DPPH free-radical scavenging assay and nitric
oxide assay using the standard method and metabolite profiling of non-polar and polar extracts of T. procumbens
was done by using gas chromatography-Mass spectrometry (GC-MS).
