ABSTRACT

Ipomoea batatas L is a conventional medicine plant belonging to the family convolvulaceae. Leaves of the plant are a source of diverse phytochemicals and were described to be used in treating various diseases. Consequently, our study was carried out to reveal the phytochemical, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities in tuber of Ipomoea batatas. The ethanolic extracts of Ipomoea batatas tubers were investigated for its radical scavenging; DPPH scavenging assay and H2O2 radical scavenging assay were utilized to determine antioxidant activity and in vitro anti-inflammatory activity by inhibition of albumin denaturation assay. The phytochemical analysis of Ipomoea batatas ethanol extract showed that the extract contains alkaloids, triterpenoids, flavonoids, tannins, and saponins that are responsible for its high antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity in a dose- dependent way. The Ipomoea batatas tuber extract demonstrated influential antioxidant and anti- inflammatory activities, exhibiting 65.8% inhibition in DPPH, 65.0% in H2O2 radical scavengingassays, and 55.0% anti-inflammatory activity at a deliberation of 250 mg/ml. The tuber extract of Ipomoea batatas L., rich in diverse secondary metabolites, holds promising medicinal potential and may be developed into therapeutic agents for future healthcare applications.
