Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory potential of Moringa oleifera L

Abstract

Pharmacological studies revealed the importance of phytoconstituents for therapeutic applications (Prusti, 2008). In India, medicinal plants play a major role in folk medicine. Majority of total world’s population depends on phytoconstituents for treatment of various diseases. Almost, 25 to 45% of present-day remedies contain plant-derived molecules as essential sources for medication. Nearly a little less than 50% of the 25 top-selling drugs marketed worldwide are derived directly from natural sources (Ramya et al., 2012).
