  • Abstract:
  • The present study was carried out to identify the hidden nutraceutical properties of the Muntingia calabura fruit. As natural, the entire Muntingia calabura plant had the ability to act as anti-cancer, anti-diabetic activity, anti-hyperglycemic activity, antioxidant activity, cardio protective activity, antipyretic activity, anti-inflammatory activity, acute toxicity, anti-proliferative activity, cytotoxic activity, quinone reductase activity, antiplatelet aggregation activity, hepatoprotective activity, gastroprotective activity, mycardial infarction, anti-hypertensive activity, anti-anxiety activity, anti-aging activity, and anti-hyperuricemic activity. Arthritis is a chronic inflammatory disorder that can be treated with anti-inflammatory drugs. Several medicinal plants show the potential to be used in arthritis therapy, one of which is Muntingia calabura fruit. The objective of this research was to study the anti-arthritic activity of Muntingia calabura fruits by using ethanol extract. The free radical scavenging was analyzed by DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl). The bioactive components of Muntingia calabura were screened by phytochemical and qualitative analyses like the Mayers test, ninhydrin test, amino acids, protein test, saponins, terpenoids, Borntragners test, and Molisch’s test. We underwent the qualitative and quantitative analysis of Muntingia calabura in some solvents like water, methanol, ethanol, chloroform, and ether. Therefore, ethanol extraction shows a higher concentration. Antioxidants are supplements present in Muntingia calabura fruits that are used to prevent inflammation disorders. Finally, we have analyzed the activity of anti-arthritis drugs in Muntingia calabura to cure or prevent the arthritis disorder.
