Abstract :

Mizoram, one of the north-eastern states of India, is situated at the Indo-Myanmar mega biodiversity hotspot region and is included among the 13 biodiversity hotspots in the Asia- Pacific region listed by the Conservation International. Many of the flora found in the region, which are being used by the Mizo tribes for treating different kinds of ailments, are not yet studied extensively. Lonicera macrantha is such an ethnomedicinal plant which is being used for treating certain disorders till today. The plant is also listed in the Taiwanese traditional system of medicine. In the present study, the ethnomedicinal use of the plant by the tribal people of Mizoram was investigated. The plant was collected and the dried leaves were extracted with both water and hydro-alcoholic mixture by cold maceration. Preliminary phytochemical investigation was done on both the aqueous and hydro- alcoholic crude extracts. In-vitro antioxidant activities were also performed on both the extracts and high anti-oxidant activities were observed. The phytochemical constituents along with the antioxidant activities of both the aqueous and hydroalcoholic extracts were compared.
