Abstract
Various extracts of B. monnieri have shown superoxide free
radical, hydroxyl radical and 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl
(DPPH) radical scavenging activities and inhibition of lipid peroxidation.
Alcohol extract, however, showed better antioxidant activity
compared to other extracts of B. monnieri. Methanol and
commercial Bacopa extracts are equipotent to amla extract in inhibition
of lipid peroxidation in rat liver, but Bacopa extracts have
shown superior activity in rat brain tissue. Bacopa extracts have
also shown brine shrimp lethality.
