Abstract

Chlorophytum borivillianum (safed musli), a medicinal plant is being known for its use from ancient age. The present study was designed to assess the activities of various enzymes viz., catalase, peroxidase, superoxide dismutase, polyphenol oxidase and glutathione-s-transferase. Results indicate that the tuber contained good levels of catalase (5.8 U), peroxidase (0.4 U), superoxide dismutase (6.1 U) which may be useful in the management of oxidative stress mediated ailments.

Keywords: safed musli,Chlorophytum borivillianum, catalase, peroxidase, superoxide dismutase, polyphenol oxidase, glutathione-S-transferase
