  • Why are antioxidant evaluations not reported in Nigerian medicinal plants?
  • The antioxidant evaluations on isolated compounds from Nigerian medicinal plants are rarely reported. This is probably due to funding problems associated to plant chemistry research in Nigeria, coupled with dysfunctional analytical instruments such as the NMR spectrometer.
  • Do Nigerian plant extracts protect against free radicals?
  • Nigerian plants have the capacity to protect or inhibit damage induced by free radical species. This study attempts to provide insights on the strength of antioxidant efficacies of plant extracts comparable to standard antioxidants.
  • Are plant extracts antioxidants?
  • Several chemical and biochemical protocols have been used in the evaluation of plant extracts as antioxidants. Overwhelming literature reports have indicated varying degrees of antioxidant efficacies of extracts from Nigerian medicinal plants in comparison to synthetic antioxidants.
  • Which Nigerian plants have DPPH inhibition?
  • The analyses of Nigerian plants in 2018 showed interesting activities with 15 plant extracts from 32 published reports. Plants with moderate DPPH inhibition include A. hispidum, A. laxiflora, C. christyanum, H. indicum and I. asarifolia [ 39 ].
