Antioxidant activity of the ethanolic extract and fractions from the stem bark of T. catigua was investigated. IC₅₀ (for DPPH scavenging) by T. catigua varied from 9.17 ± 0.63 to 76.42 ± 5.87 mg mL⁻¹ and total phenolic content varied from 345.63 ± 41.08 to 601.27 ± 42.59 mg GAE g⁻¹ of dry extract. Fe²⁺-induced lipid peroxidation was significantly reduced by the ethanolic extract and fractions. ...
