The comparative In vitro DNA protective role of hydroethanolic extracts at a concentration of
400 µg/ml of Palash (B. monosperma), Kaner (N. oleander), Nagkesar (M. ferra), Madar
(Calotropis gigantea) and Lotus (N. nucifera) flowers were evaluated (Image 1). There is a
complete distorted in lane 2 which contains only DNA and fenton reagent, while all the
flower extracts (from lane 3 to 8, B. monosperma, N. oleander, M. ferrea, C.gigantea and N.
nucifera respectively) were reflected intact DNA bands due to their scavenging potential of
Fe3+ assisted DNA cleavage when compared to Ascorbic acid (Lane 3) which reflected a
slight distorted band of DNA.
