Chemical and Biological Evaluation of Albizia lebbeck, Psoralea corylifolia, and Trifolium indicum

Abstract

Herbal medicine, rooted in traditional practices, is increasingly recognized for its diverse therapeutic applications. Albizia lebbeck, Psoralea corylifolia, and Trifolium indicum are valued in traditional medicine for their potential health benefits, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and metabolic regulatory properties. This work delves into the rich spectral fingerprint of
methanolic extracts from Albizia lebbeck, Psoralea corylifolia, and Trifolium indicum, aiming to elucidate their unique biochemical composition. Employing advanced spectroscopic techniques, including Flame and Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), the minerals and bioactive compounds present in these herbal extracts were meticulously characterized. The study extends beyond conventional spectroscopic analysis by correlating the spectroscopic signatures with the biological potential of
the extracts. This study unveiled biological evaluations including time and concentration-dependent antioxidants, anti-inflammatory, antihyperglycemic, analgesic, and anti-anxiety properties of these botanicals through rigorous in vitro and in vivo assessments. Each herbal extract was found to have characteristic chemical composition and biological potential. The present work not only contributes to the fundamental understanding of the spectral features of these herbs but also positions them as promising candidates in the realm of disease management.
