Antioxidant, Cytotoxic and larvicidal Potential in Oxalis latifolia Kunth. Methanolic Leaf Extract

Aims: The current work was analyzed in antioxidants, cytotoxicity and larvicidal potential were examined for O. latifolia methanolic leaf extract.

Methodology: Antioxidant assasy for Hydroxyl radical (H2O2). Cytotoxicity potential was studied against colon (HT-29). Culex quinquefasciatus (IVth instar) larvae was used for larvicidal test.

Results: Antioxidant and cytotoxicity exhibits significant activities with IC50 value of 442.94 µg/mL and also the cytotoxicity activity IC50 values of 50.00μg/mL for HT-29. Larval mortality against the larvae of Cx. quinquefasciatus showed best activity with LC50 09.50mg/L and LC90 28.72 mg/L.

Conclusion: Thus, this study proved that methanolic leaf extracts of O. latifolia have significant biological activities. Hence, it can be used for pharmacetutical applications.
