Abstract
The quest for novel antioxidant and anti-inflammatory medications from medicinal plants is crucial since the plants contain bioactive compounds with a better efficacy and safety profile than orthodox therapy. This study harnesses the capabilities of mechatronics-driven Agilent Gas Chromatography, deploying in vitro, in vivo, and in silico models to unravel the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory attributes within Combretum paniculatum ethanol extract (CPEE). Employing gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy (GC-MS), our analysis efficiently segregates and evaluates volatile compound mixtures, a technique renowned for identifying organic compounds, as exemplified by its success in detecting fatty acids in food and resin acids in water. Using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and GC-FID analyses, this paper ascertains the comprehensive phytochemical composition of CPEE. Also, Molecular interactions of identified compounds with cyclooxygenase (COX-2) implicated in inflammatory urpsurge is verified. GC-MS and GC-FID analyses unveil 41 phytoconstituents within CPEE. Based on the in vitro research, CPEE demonstrated potential in inhibiting thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances, nitric oxide, and phospholipase lipase A2 with inhibition rates of 2.284, 6.547, and 66.8 μg/mL respectively. In vivo experiments confirm CPEE's efficacy in inhibiting granuloma tissue formation, lipid peroxidation, and neutrophil counts compared to untreated rats. Moreover, CPEE elicited a significant (P < 0.05) increase in the activities of SOD, CAT, and GSH concentrations while decreasing C-reactive protein, signifying promising therapeutic potential. Highlighting interactions between top-scoring phytoligands (epicatechin, catechin, and kaempferol) and COX-2, the findings underscore their drug-like characteristics, favorable pharmacokinetics, and enhanced safety toxicity profiles. Results from in vitro, in vivo, and in silico studies, highlights CPEE remarkable antioxidant and anti-inflammatory potentials.
