Figure 1: Antioxidant analysis by DPPH assay of oil and its extracts. The antioxidant activity of chloroform extract seems to be equivalent to NAC {N-acetyl cysteine, followed by aqueous extract, hexanoic extract and ethanoic extract showing nearly same potency, then petroleum ether extract is followed by our formulation, least in methanolic extract. The phytochemicals showed the highest antioxidant potency in semi-polar to non-polar solvents and the sesame oil is thereby used as a carrier, targeting the generation of oxidative stress at wound site.
