Study of the Phytochemical Composition, the Antioxidant and the Anti-Inflammatory Effects of Two Sub-Saharan Plants: Piliostigma reticulatum and Piliostigma thonningii

Table 3

DPPH IC₅₀ and ABTS IC₅₀ values of the two plants extracts and their standards.

	P. thonningii	P. reticulatum	Ascorbic acid	Trolox
DPPH IC50 (μg/mL)	17.64 ± 0.684 ^a^b	8. 88 ± 0.114 ^b	1.745 ± 0. 28	-
ABTS IC50 (μg/mL)	9.78 ± 1, 836^ns a^b	13.47 ± 2.623 ^b	-	30.769 ± 0.180

Values are mean ± SD of triplicate readings (n = 3). The results are considered significantly different for . ^ns (no significant difference) ; ^astatistically different as compared to the other plant’s extract; ^bstatistically different as compared to the standard.
